poetry by j matthew waters

as if there is no tomorrow


the powers that be
are upon us

they cast spells
on the ones without eyes
incantations
for wayward souls….

there is no awakening
for those
who cannot sleep

for their days are filled
with promises
impossible
to be kept

yet they move forward
chasing death
with great abandon
as if there is ever
any tomorrow
