poetry by j matthew waters

the tree replacement program


we’re planting trees & singing
this one’s for you honey
name it what you will

one by one
falling from the pickup’s bed
into the hands of a queen she’s goes
into the ground she goes
everyone singing
up on the hill
this one’s for you honey
name it what you will

one day they’re gone
and the next they’re replaced
at this pace
soon we’ll be singing
it’s a brand new world honey
name it what you will





may two thousand twenty-two
