poetry by j matthew waters

hunting in the dark


mushrooms are blooming everywhere
and I’ve not yet fallen asleep

it’s intense out in the fields
stars & supersonic sounds concealing
nearly dead brain waves coming back to life

it’s as if you’ve walked through here before
creating space & carving new paths
careful not to disturb the peace

  3. This was lovely. Hope you are doing well. Is lockdown over in your place?
