poetry by j matthew waters

unshakable


I can’t seem to shake her
anywhere I go
by land or by air or by sea
always on my tail
like a puppy or a shadow
an unshakable soul

I am rarely lost
but often found
hanging out at the shoreline
breathing in the promise
of an unmistakable
tomorrow

come morning you will be here
like a blue moon
in the making
once upon a time thin
as a wafer
relentless & unwavering





august two thousand twenty-three
