foreplay's foreword

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

foreplay's foreword


textual intimations
dog eared glances
interrupt the study of sole surviving

words start blurring
mind reading her, instead of the page
she smiles

he bookmarks.

Very sweet. Sometimes, it's before we touch or share a conversation. Chemistry is activated within a glance. One glance may segue to something much bigger, and amazing. Awaiting in the future shines a pathway as bright as any fire. This was very intimate in a subtle way. Great read.

Smiling here....romance in the new world. Texting and emailing is not quite the same as reading another's thoughts and feeling another's emotions. "he bookmarks"....is that like sealing with a kiss? :) I liked it. Lydi**

Smart and deeply meaningful.
Typically, your work also features a bit of very clever humor.
Great read!

Sometimes I wish I could make myself situationally less aware of my surroundings. I'd get much more work done.


Of course, there was a past use for what you described... mostly mating orientated but also survival orientated. Vestigial traits will always haunt species that evolve quickly.

I have a vision here of a class of young people with an undercurrent of new love running between two of them; maybe i am wrong but that is the image that sprung to mind :)

Both witty and amusing Jacob. Words are easier to understand than mind reading though, in my opinion.
