one less wishA Poem by jacob erin-cilbertoone less wish we all met at the seven-eleven for fountain drinks and a bit of convenient cheer when an old sot stumbled in short on money but long on beer we bought him a soda and a peppermint candy cane half a sandwich and his disdain out in the cold he went sated but fated to feel that frigid blade of steel certain the new year would arrive with him absent. erin-cilberto 12/23/19 © 2019 jacob erin-cilberto |
