Replies to “Dear Jerome” Ep. 1 (With audio)
Dear Rud,
A letter from you feels good,
But your notes inspire my thoughts to roam.
Despite your advice, I still long for home.
How long before this dark cloud disappears?
I am tired of waiting in fear.
I do not trust my ears more than I trust the lips that brings this news
Before you wrote, I’ve heard of the crows and vultures
Engaging in dangerous adventures.
These misdeeds seem to have overturned the graves
What has become of those we once thought brave?
These spirits you speak of, could be the forgotten ghosts
The ones our town used to host
Their knocks on the roofs must have overpowered it
Especially, when our wise ones gather on corridors to sit.
Despite the love here, there is no place like home.
Even in plenty, these streets echo like empty domes.
If this straw can only strengthen the camel’s back,
My presence might be required soon.
From here, I can smell the impending doom.
Vera
