poetry by j matthew waters

seeking compassion


where did you go
after all the anxiety left
as if your body
left behind
a puddle of confusion

did you take all the suffering
with you
or did you leave it behind
for some unfortunate
soul to find

I’m surprised you hadn’t
already sought your karma
or did you go
a different direction this time
perhaps skyward


august two thousand twenty-four
