Seeds
Hope finds the open window
the break-crack-rift;
she drifts into
addicts and innocents
illegals and the illustrious
the homeless and insane.
She weaves around
anxiety-worry-fear
to plant forgotten seeds
in assorted cultivars,
forgiveness-new job-new toy-good deed,
any variety she needs
for the pope and pedophiles
the CEO and the centerfold
the abuser and the bruised
to wake from
their nightmares
and rise again in the morning.

In this strong and vulnerable collection of poetry, the poet spins out a thoughtful imagery of innocence and culpability, for (and of) "the users and the abused". Jules Jacob inhabits a dichotomous world, and with delicate magnetism, draws us into it, in each poem. ”
—The Glass Sponge Endorsement— Dr. Harrison Solow, Pushcart Prize winning writer, author and university professor
