Jigsaws are falling into place, yet dust gathers
In spaces between the pieces. Willingly, I knock
Them over. Wreck a focal segment, just to entertain
The thought of destruction, to see in what ways
I could adjust to the ruin. Pick them up once again,
Undo the damage, test my ingenuity. I never once
Bothered for the entire picture. How can I?
Maladies erupt within days, the ones with the privilege
To dismantle an era. I put to sleep the resolve
I once had, the dissolution of daydreams, and whatever
Was keeping me alive. And now, I will just breathe.
