Forever when I find her
She’s picking up…

clothes that need mending.
a shoe without a heel,
a line from an old movie,
a flute, some spoons,
a button, a comb for her hair,

a torn photograph, a promise
a whisper, a cat and an occasional broken glass.
A chipped saucer, a fork, a ladle, a *** without a top. A broken heart, a lost
tear, hopefully the last.

Forever when I find,
She’s picking up her past
In pieces,
puzzling a life.
