A jealousy of birds.

Jess B

The fire was bright,
Like someone I once loved,
And danced
Under the stars
That smattered the sky
Like words in a book.
 
The water
Moved slowly,
Like a tired heart,
Coming
And then
Going.
 
Rocks laid
Like memories 
In abundance.
 
My aloneness 
Was so loud
It was quiet.
 
The water brushed my toes
A tiny taste 
Of humanity.
 
A jealousy of birds
Filled me up
Like truth 
You don’t 
Want to know.
 
I watched them
Across the sky
Together,
Like a parting glance,
Just before you go,
A breath you can’t see,
A thought you can’t hear;
But that feeling 
You know 
Like the very 
Fabric of your soul.
