Now Renewed

Now,

disturbance from afar

interference enters me.


Pause the confusion

Establish restitution

everything softens


Now, a new now

the disturbance doesn't

the interference fades


rehabilitated

everything soft

quiet reigns

The Lost Jigsaw Piece

I found a single piece

of a jigsaw

underneath the television cabinet


I had no idea to what jigsaw it belonged.

We have some old ones in the loft

and it wasn't from one of those.

Most that we have done

have long since been gifted to charity shops.


So what to do with this solitary lonely piece?


I'll keep it, adopt it, ensure it feels valued.

It'll remind me of others who have been lost,

others whom I have  lost,

and moments when I feel lost.
