Matthew Berg Poems

His new skates came in the mail
He laced them good and tight
Going outside, he shivered with only his
Flannels on
...

There have been hearts on the wall for some time now,
Colorful designs that mean nothing to me.
They were left there by the previous owners,
Along with twin ropes overhanging loose pipes.
...

I am controversial,
I am hope with a band-aid,
Watercolors tamed and tagged
With spirals of smoke
...
