    About this ebook

    Jeanine Petro pens faithful deliberations. While demise entwines her life, she crafts poems that unravel mental knots. Synaptic Salve is healing oil while she grows accustomed to her vantage. Although she now considers difficulty common, dismay was not to elude dismissal. Her poetry grabs dismay by the ear. Through her work, she hopes to create existential space which cultivate seeded life goals.

      I once was a chestnut, I hung from a tree,Like all of the young, I longed to be free.One day I landed, it felt like a mile.I need not have worried, I was in Hutton soil.My work had just started, ‘twas about 1803.That’s when I knew, I’d become a tree.

      Synaptic Salve - Jeanine Petro

      Everyone Elsewhere

      Comely

      Hum to me

      Sing how you feel

      Lo and behold!

      Easement awaits

      Entwined souls

      Knowledge and mind

      I drew his wish with a limn

      No more did I destroy than he

      More day, Today

      Please, don’t go away

      Drink with Pharaoh

      Pack it up and get out

      So, our disease got clout

      I could not be

      In there, broken

      Irreparable: every parable

      Alarmingly So!

      Disarmingly No, no, no

      I know you back in times

      Seein’ through rhymes

      Like rhythm is art

      Or timing is heart

      Hock and tooy

      Putts and phooey

      Uppercut for Huey, Dewey, and Louie

      If arms are strong:

      Force is wrong

      Sing His song

      Facial Feedback

      They will…

      Walk away into crinkles

      Recede by way of curtains

      When they look with stern questioning

      Desire dialog

      Conversations mend safely

      Torches flicker softly

      Laughter gets mushy

      Reeds chuckle

      Sassy flows from flippancy

      Build Me

      From sinners’ shame

      To halls of fame

      Into eternal flame

      Same game

      No blame

      Inspiration

      Dedication to the elevation of another revelation

      As if to arbitrate your emotional state

      Clear the slate between love and hate

      Fate and determination

      Again, like arbitration between peace and conflict

      Or comfort from your internal addict

      Or clear your mind’s static for a moment

      Like a glimmer of light, for fire we fight

      Necessity’s light

      I’m right and wrong and attempt to stay strong

      Singing the song that winds through this life

      Like hope vs. strife

      In the
