A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

Passe


needles,
pinprick tears sting a heart
thimble learning from the dissonance
the sound sews itself onto an ear

but deaf seams don't cry anymore
they just unravel in their own time
and i need you more,
my bare knees scraping the ground

as i come begging
to feel you patch the open skin
of destiny,
that is moribund

with us out of fashion.

I see a touch of fashion here and fabric
I know its such a random thing to say
but is longing for a partner the new fashion of love
back then lovers were inseparable
nowadays it just lingers and longing takes lead with out busy lives

heart is still supple so it will hurt more but the ear is deaf so supple heart kept on hurting and finally all ended after every aches and pains, the analogy of sewing matched perfect for the situation, hope none should go through those journey even if it happens more frequently than we think

Painful to read; though, obviously, not nearly as painful as the devastating reality.
A metaphorically stunning verbal testicle smasher!
