poetry by j matthew waters

one night in the merry month of may

vanilla wafer moon clears away the clouds
showering my window with midnight light
slowly stirring me to consciousness
undoing the spell long ago cast by my
darling clementine on her deathbed

may two thousand seventeen

“Vanilla wafer moon.” I love that. Makes me think of making banana pudding.
