JIGSAW PUZZLE
My life, a 500, 750, 1000,
a 1500 piece puzzle. I need
the box, the picture, to tell
me what I’m doing. Frame
first, then to sort the colors,
then easy sections first: an
orange or a child with a kite,
clouds, and an old man with
a cane. Then frustration - but
in time slowly constructing
and connecting and building
bridges with the interlocking
pieces of my life. Sometimes
I was sure a piece or two
were missing and a few times
there I had the wrong cover -
and the wrong picture and I
had to figure out life without
knowing what it was all about.
