a slight disturbance

a slight disturbance

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

a slight disturbance

 

 

dust mites

soul mates

to the breeze

as it rearranges the evidence

that she was once here

 

love is a "Pledge"

and that end table may rediscover its shine

but will never again cast her reflection

 

in the pain stained wood,

And pledge is over rated...
Dust with just a cloth-and love fills the air landing fleetingly
Dust love with a damp rag and it ,well it molds
How about letting the dust alone? Let it build on the table
No one will have a reflection but love will have a forever home
You can write names in it -dust mite memories

love this one...

love is a "Pledge"
and that end table may rediscover its shine
but will never again cast her reflection

love can be a scary thing to contemplate like the dust on the wind in our gardenheart...

I never liked dusting since it makes me sneeze, but some disturbances are more than necessary. Reminding the heart that is not made of rocks.

I remember using Pledge every Saturday when my mother would ask my younger brother and I to dust the furniture...i remember there always being stains we could never remove...my father once said that the only way to remove the stains from the end tables was to sand them out... those end tables now sit in the corner of the shed and still bare the stains we left behind and for some reason I can't seem to sand them away... some memories stay forever...a thought provoking read this morning, my friend...thanks...

Wonderful play on the word "pledge".....it's so shiny, I can see myself in it! :) It's impossible, though, to wipe away memories of a love that once was. The "wood" is stained with pain, no doubt about it. Good one, Jacob. Lydi*

That's funny! I was using Pledge dust spray yesterday. Now I didn't influence you Jacob?
