sleeping with the enemyA Poem by jacob erin-cilbertosleeping
with the enemy
curvature of the spine of humanity of what we stood for
now a crooked back from the weight of what we've become
and only the
springs underneath
the mattress of serenity
remember some comfort once felt on a dark soft night
before innocence was
purloined---
