Pieces
Pieces
Shiny and sharp
Scattered loosely
Over the gravel driveway
Black asphalt
Searing in
The Colorado full sun
Pieces
Of me
Bleeding pieces
Combusting from
Stress and pressure
No longer
Held together
Shattered Humpty Dumpty
Unable to be
Put back
Pieces
Of my past
Coming to fruition
No longer
Super glued together
In pretense
And hopes
Of awakening
Pieces
Finally, in
Their place
Broken glass
To be formed
Into a new mosaic
Desirous of
A fresh construct
One not experienced
Pieces
Animated particles
Moving together
Desperately wanting
To be reconnected
To flesh
Bone
Spirit
Pieces
Finally, home
