PUZZLE

Broken pieces of me 

fractured pieces of you 

shards of a vast mosaic 

shattered pieces of one big puzzle 

straining to interlock 

trying in vain to fit together 

askew and unresolved 


I could not assemble 

the scattered fragments of myself 

so I gathered borrowed slivers 

from passing souls 

who briefly entered my vicinity 

playing roles 

that ended in tragedy 


All I managed to create 

was a sprawling, tangled portrait 

a chaotic canvas of ill-fitting parts 

clinging parasitically to each other 

forming a messy picture 

smeared across an indecipherable image 

a melancholy of tortured faces
