poetry by j matthew waters

test of time


where do we go
once time stands still
like a flamingo preening
in shallow water
lost in endless thought

behold the eternal flame
trapped inside a frozen cave
indistinguishable from time
secluded like a dream

if only you could find
the formulaic language
of putting time in a nutshell
buried in the spring
by the keeper of the stars


may two thousand twenty-four
