I spend all afternoon assembling pieces of you together.
I sit on the floor, legs outstretched, head cocked, wondering what piece of you goes where.
My jigsaw. My challenge for the day.
You keep changing, with every piece of you I put together. Different permutations of you.
I understand you better. And out of the sheer joy of it, I apply two and two better.
Occasionally, there are pieces missing. So, I break off bits of me, and put them there.
A little spittle to smooth out rough edges. A nip here. A tuck there.
You take any shape you want. You grow. You’re beautiful now.
Glowing and full and ready to walk out, shine, put the sun to shame.
I bask in the glory of you.
Each ray of you, pouring through me, spilling onto the floor beyond.
Through gaping spaces.
Spaces made to make you.
Awesome. π
I agree with the comment above!my jigsaw reacts violently when I try to finish him with bits of me, though.
Fack. That hurts. Despite the awesome-ness, it will always hurt.
beautiful π the thought and the words.
Lovely post! Very nicely written
nice….
I hate that this post would have made me smile a lot more a few months ago.:(You always write things that are easy to slip one’s head into. π
Brilliant. Like your previous post. And many others before it.[Tangled] ‘Easy to slip one’s head into’? Ugly image just popped up in my head.
You leave me hollow. Every time.
That was joy and pain all at once. How original. You’re skillful, dammit.

Whatever made you write so, I hope it doesn’t make you hurt that much anymore.
