Blocks

A poem begins
where there is a tear in the fabric
of my life.
A seam ripped out
jagged edges falling apart
give breath and life to words
that strain to ease my heart

Words that fall over themselves
trying to sort and piece together
blocks of feeling, pain, love, despair
into a blanket of substance, of sense
of meaning.

By falling into my life
you have torn a hole
with edges that won't meet.
Where does joy meet sadness,
how does desire meet despair?
Where does hope meet memory?
Why does with you still mean without you?
