A Poem by jacob erin-cilberto

karaoke of the unwashed

 

 

windmills wake wind chimes

into fake chorus

lies push clouds into view

as the sound deafens

sense

that just goes round and round

becoming a steady rain.

the image of the "wind chimes waking wind" and "lies pushing clouds into view" creates a sense of chaos. but the line "sense that goes round and round" is where you really grab hold of something profound. Its like the feeling of being in a constant loop, searching for answers without ever finding resolution. The simplicity of the phrase makes it relatable. Well penned, Jacob.
