poetry by j matthew waters

going back in time


there is a certain silence
beneath the noise
buzzing inside my brain

to get there is a long
complicated journey
something like one step forward
and two steps back

eventually you’ll be young
once again
where silence doesn’t exist
and the noise
was something you sought
from the time you rose from the dead

it is never definable
and if it ever was
you would never be able
to give it any kind of justice





april two thousand twenty-four
