The drive to seek greater clarity
has jumbled the pieces even more.
Like the feeling that the broken world was
more complete, than the full picture I have now.
The simpler things become, the smaller and more inconsequential I feel.
That yearning to be right on the edge of calamity
has more room to grow.
Being broken allows me to keep good inventory -
know where all the pieces are.
It\'s hard to be a puzzle
when the lines that make the shapes - are no more.
