poetry by j matthew waters

restless & willing


I don’t know what it means
to feel your pain
how different it must be
than my own
irrefutable & non-replicable

how do you channel it
turn it into something new
earth in the palm of your hand
creating karma w/a
little wind & fire & spit

I once read you can’t
take it with you
wealth & promises & lies
but what you can take
hovers in the background
restless & willing
