two more for breakfast

two more for breakfast

A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

 

two more for breakfast

 

 

 

goodbyes shaded gray

white tussles before the flames

 

ashen kisses side by side

but HD pictures in the minds

of survivors

 

we all remember

the stern lectures

the wild laughter

the firm hand

the devil eyes

 

and the slowing heartbeats

rings picked from the ruins

still embracing

 

a crease in the moon

a smile?

 

time passes

but the regard for you

stays at the station

never boarding that train

to eternity

 

we just sit sipping coffee

while your menus

rest on a table of memory

 

unread...

I can't help but think of Catholic school. That's just where it took me. The juxtaposition of forming relationships held dear while in a setting that was less than idyllic. At least, that's my takeaway.
