A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto


Atlas

 

 

 

retreads

bald hearts

abide

the ride

the rough roads 

of potholed love

 

the wear and tear

a used demeanor

happiness an exit missed

 

the map inaccurate

I think we can all use a road map for love if only we knew where to buy one from. I have made many u-turns in my relatively youthful love life and my tyres are balding already, too. There is so much wear and tear on that road! I think i'll just keep crawling along and keep my eyes peeled for the right exit, though I seriously doubt it will be visible to my eye. I hope your bald heart has a retread that has it looking like Formula 1 tyres again. I appreciate the metaphor here.

The map inaccurate. A new strategy required. I feel a sense of going round in circles here on repeat mode. Got to break that cycle. Got to find that happiness exit J. A little poem that says a lot and conveys much emotion. Great poetry J.

With Google maps, it is making it harder to use the traditional maps. I hope they stay relevant as your great poetry. It guided millions and still do.
