pieces

sometimes you find yourself
taking apart puzzle pieces
that took a while to assemble in the first place
you thought you had the thing figured out
and now you're left with corners and edges
in the shuffle of furniture and artwork
you're deciding who will take the cat or the beatles albums
strangers question the most intimate of your details
where and why and how did it all go wrong?
there is no one to take the sorrow
that swallows you if you stand still too long
starting again is so solitary
