Pieces

Pieces


Puzzles:
for the fool who won't give up
are the perfect distraction
for the fool broken hearted.


An exercise in their patience
to find each missing piece they seek
to create a whole
of something they pictured in their mind.


Finding missing pieces on the way
missing as many or as few
that may have strayed
hoping to use the fingers of a lover to fill them.


Puzzled:
the fool who won't give up
is the perfect state
when it's finally finished.
