deconstruction's ghostsA Poem by jacob erin-cilbertodeconstruction's
ghosts i am
the simile that is like no one
you've known before i am the pause in your
line that commas off your
heart enclosed for emphasis hoping you will notice
i am the smile that curves only for you the upward twist of
irony only you could
understand hoping you will mirror
i am the instigator of words meant to curl
your lips into a kiss of semantics that we could write
together with reckless abandon
once our thesis is
refined i hope we don't have to
be we could turn into a
metaphor and stand alone on
whatever meaning we choose
the apparition of an association finding its figurative
language a love like nothing either of us ever
thought would translate.
