Jigsaw Puzzles and You by Anastasia Clark
There were long hyphens in our day- When no one spoke; no one exhaled
As we contemplated the broken puzzles- The broken tiles all over the floor
Some might have called us mad- Insane- in this ceramic nightmare
Of yoga knees and bloody feet- Empty bottles scattered on a garden mat
And still we persevered- With our buckets of glue and fingers of paste
Figuring how to fit ourselves into this chaos- Of porcelain folly and jaded beliefs
This irksome chaos of so-called matrimony- This well-earned puzzle that some call LOVE.
