puzzles

there are things
you can't change,
can't undo,
it's too late
to take back
the words spoken,
the note sent,
the call made.
a slip a fall,
a gesture that meant
no harm, but
does. your life
is a puzzle of
misteps, and yet
somehow, every
now and then
a piece slides in
just perfectly to
make sense of
a jumbled board.
that's where you
come in.
