poetry by j matthew waters

out of the water


out of the water
near the persian gulf
refugees have no idea
where they are

survival skills
come out of nowhere
or perhaps
from the lessons
of the younger dryas

this desert
once under water
possesses knowledge
buried inside an ark


april two thousand twenty-five
