poetry by j matthew waters

styling like a songbird


I’ve been down this road before
but never alone
always before someone by my side
oh how times have changed

there is nothing bitter sweet
to endings & beginnings
—necessary cycles
in the grand scheme of things

you see that bird following me
has been there all along
lo these many years
only now have I taken notice

there is a certain style to her song
mainly repetitive but
occasionally improvising
as if to say see
you are just like me
