inversion conversion

...for Jacob...

inversion conversion

 

 

you wore me inside out

wash tag showed its age

and our words spoken

only in backward syllables

while antonyms of adverbs

left the shirt

unbuttoned by desires

never fulfilled

 

you inverted my present

into a converted past

Note: I bought and am enjoying Jacob erin-cilberto’s book of

poetry, “pour me another poem, please”. He has a unique metaphoric style. the above poem is my attempt at writing like this. I hope that I have done you well Jacob.

you've done my voice better than I do it, Curt.
I think sometimes I have washed the color out of my own metaphors.
thank you for this.
