by Matt Nagin
if we are doomed
i say embrace it
marry it
let it carry you
into verandas of
bliss.
if we are doomed
fall into it
this gentle blanket
array of fireworks
the hot night soaking
your shirt.
if this is the end
let the bullets
cascade
and the bombs echo
but embrace it with
what you have
left to give.
Matt Nagin has been writing poetry since age sixteen—where poetry became a
bit of a spiritual practice. Matt has always enjoyed the non-linear nature of
poetry and believes in what Rimbaud called “a derangement of the senses” to
obtain the unknown. In recent years, Matt’s poetry has been published in Antigonish Review, Dash Literary Journal,
The Charles Carter, and Grain
Magazine, among other markets. His first poetry book, Butterflies Lost Within The Crooked
Moonlight, was released in 2017 to very strong critical and reader reviews.
Matt is also an award-winning filmmaker, comedian, and actor. More info at mattnagin.com.
