matt's muse.ings
two April 2026 poems by Matt Turley
Cascades. .
Silence soft as skin.
Sediment-eyes prying
Open closing lids
Gazing like gemstones
Toward me without
E m o t i o n
Fingers that once held
Fishing poles & paddles
Drills & lathes & dowels
V i o l I n & b o w
Raising children while
Attending to
U n s p e a k a b l e
S u f f e r i n g & grief
Finding balance somehow
Between the past & now
Remembering a thing
From forty years ago
But not the name of someone
Too close to forget
The stranger pulled away with
A trailer full of trash
That used to be worth something
Not of money, but of memory
Artifacts representing a past
Whose facts are unremembered
Of moments and emotions
Captured and distorted in
Minds and stories that
Matter to the teller
time for some tunes
