this is your problem now
Matt Sutton’s autobiographical prose pieces are centered on memory, addiction, grief, love, travel, and self-contradiction. His lyrical voice is confessional and conversational, often funny in a dark way, while moving through recurring images of bars, family, nature, and the struggle to make sense of a chaotic life. Sutton’s preoccupation with existential regret, redemption, and love are the musings of everyman.

i want a horse
sometime
before i retire from living
to rot or collect dust for eternity
i will leave the decision to my family
i’ll just tell them
if you bury me then dig the hole deep
if you cremate me
crank the oven as hot as it goes
but don’t spread my ashes
i don’t want to be stepped on
or swam in
just get me a horse
a strong one
and fast
with an adequate name
like Hurricane or Thunderbolt
and let it take me where a man
can’t go alone
