Broken Albatross

Things that should not be, became

Things that should not be known, were revealed

Now understood, that which has no name

Things that have no end, no beginning yield

Knock on wood, rock, paper, scissors, a coin toss

A bent knee, a broken albatross

Midnight's kiss of dross, an embrace

A double cross, a Janus face

Muddy waters, disgrace, a broken tooth

Burnt offerings efface a fortune teller's booth

[jacob erin-cilberto]

wisdom of the future...the unknown that would rather not be known....
eavesdropping on what might be?
better to just live it and not be disappointed with the ending.

Yes all of the above. Thanks for the review and wise response Jacob.

What a profoundly wise piece of poetry my friend. Every time I read your artful words I can only nod in agreement with them. Because the wisdom from which they speak echoes my own beliefs as well. Writers just have a talent of doing that for their audience. You are aN amazing writer.
