to whom it may concernA Poem by jacob erin-cilberto
i have
been the "Who" too long, the subject doing the
action of giving love for too many sentences the "she"
always the object of my affection the "Who"
finding his way through clauses of caresses, causes of
duress-es the immovable pronoun seeking identity within
the opposite gender. the meaning behind the
semantics of giving serenity while getting calamity
but now,
i want to be the
"Whom" the object of her
prepositions, the direct object of her
transitive advances even the indirect object
of her sensual trances
i want to be the pronoun
that floats across her essay swaying in her breeze giving in totally to the
feeling enough to send me
reeling to the end of whatever
phrase she casts into the wind to amaze
"Who am I?" "Whom is me?"
when i am finally both, then i will accept us as we.
