dried art

dried art

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

dried art

 

 

artifacts,

exploration into the heart

disclosures of a mission to uncover serenity

the dig,

the digging her,

her digging me

the bones of love buried

the heart buried

reasonable exclusion

more digging

less finding

calculating location

 

it is remote

like chances of ever after

an anthropology of sorts

 

something almost human.

A deep dig.
Masterful use of metaphor to uncover new insights.
Like the old billiards wizard use to say, "Great stuff!"

In the dryness and deadness of bones and past reminants lies life of love undiscovered- digging deep but lying in surface where few see- wonderful words of wisdom- 🌹

Dried Art is an interesting title. When I think of the word dried, it conjures up something that has had all the life and juices sucked out of it.

it is remote
like chances of everafter

I am left thinking maybe it's time for the excavation to stop. You produce some stark imagery in your writing Jacob. Great read. I enjoyed the dig.

The mind is capable of digging & creating many scenarios .... your words have a feeling of nostalgia and contemplation.... lovely!

Too much of digging...sometimes we strike gold...sometimes diamond...sometimes just rocks... :)
