poetry by j matthew waters

lost in the woods


I’ve become lost again
like a little lamb
abandoned
in a nursery rhyme
left to fend for himself
far away from grassy fields
and peoples
of various dreams

It’s not the first time
and mostly likely
not the last
but now there’s
a new feeling
from understanding
I’m not learning
from prior mistakes





march two thousand twenty-four
