December 30 -- Sarah Thursday

Jigsawed

I am missing too many pieces

my pieces are broken

my pieces do not match

I am pulling pieces from my mouth

wet and teeth-bent

my pieces fit nothing

I am turning over the edges

over and over and over

my pieces are dizzy

drunk-stained and torn

I am scraping off layers

of Disney-glossed pictures

my pieces are spit gray

my pieces fall behind

tables and wall benches

I am pieces glued on

I am pieces shoved in

I am pieces forced together

pieces and pieces and pieces

all Picasso and bent blue

Inspired by “Weeping Woman” by Pablo Picasso
