Puzzle People
Facing each other like unlucky mirrors
Untold fragments reflect between
You touch me along my broken edges
I trace my fingers across your jigsaw scars
Piece by piece we are dismantled
Each by the other's hand
You reach inside and find the heart
The lung, the deeper part
Your hands becoming finger puppets behind my eyes
This is no metaphor, this gesture
This reach is real
Between our kneeling frames it's been all laid out
I have no skin left to safeguard
I take, give
A cutaway from my sternum and it fits you
Like a badge
Pieces from the pile complete the riddle
One, two, after the other
Onto, into
Leaving gaps and seams and happy overlays
And spaces waiting to be entered
Drying pools we leave behind
Stains tattooed in memory
Covering what was once just a map of lines
One easy moment
Replacing all the questions of the world
With something greater than an answer
From you, I
This miracle
Like loaves and fishes welling
There is more of us now than when we began
Pieces left over
Spilled onto the bed before us
Untold fragments reflect between
You touch me along my broken edges
I trace my fingers across your jigsaw scars
Piece by piece we are dismantled
Each by the other's hand
You reach inside and find the heart
The lung, the deeper part
Your hands becoming finger puppets behind my eyes
This is no metaphor, this gesture
This reach is real
Between our kneeling frames it's been all laid out
I have no skin left to safeguard
I take, give
A cutaway from my sternum and it fits you
Like a badge
Pieces from the pile complete the riddle
One, two, after the other
Onto, into
Leaving gaps and seams and happy overlays
And spaces waiting to be entered
Drying pools we leave behind
Stains tattooed in memory
Covering what was once just a map of lines
One easy moment
Replacing all the questions of the world
With something greater than an answer
From you, I
This miracle
Like loaves and fishes welling
There is more of us now than when we began
Pieces left over
Spilled onto the bed before us
