Ancestor’s traumas

November 6, 2018Matt JohnsonLeave a comment

The roads had been paved by violence
The residue of our ancestor’s turmoil inside us
Weaving scars
Always sensing
The shadows that walk beside us

Carousel

June 14, 2016June 14, 2016Matt Johnson2 Comments

On a carousel
go round and round
There is a silence beneath the melody
where ghosts lurk
Trying to run free

Written in 2014 or 2015, not sure
