this mosaic gives us history
even the pieces unfitted
obscuring the margins
will find their
place
this tapestry razored
and assembled
then shuffled and boxed
bought, brought home and spread out
across a table
the answers still hidden
how much time
to piece a life
back
together
to match the edges
of pain
with those of joy
how to balance all meaning
from fact and lie
with hopes and dreams
the weight of memories
what to do with the pieces
that
just
won’t
fit
