MEISJE MET DE PAREL

only now
many years later
the missing pearl earring

finally turns up
the last part
of the jigsaw

the rest of it
thrown away
when it couldn't be

found
now the pearl earring
the only piece left

she frames it
in a large gold frame
the girl now to be imagined

the pearl earring
itself and
itself only
