One piece at a time Piece together her puzzle Something does not fit *************************** Inspired by Kelli Sheckler-Amsden’s senryu below. More by the pic than the senryu, but, it is a lovely piece regardless.

Darkness in its deepest sonder, desolation in its truest bareness, all embraced my shattered skin, Enclothed in the tightness of survival, the light that belied in its invisibility propelled me to keep my hope akin.

Piled in a corner Of old neglected warehouse Pieces of my soul Stacked like wooden crates Stored away for when needed
Once bright shining silk Haunted ghosts of memory By withered hands stroked ………….. Tattered lace ribbons Shredded by times vagaries
Oh My Child, Come Back to Me The cradle’s still, the room is bare, She rocks alone in empty air, Her arms reach out to hold the past,

Alone in this love Solitary confinement Please open your heart
Picked up a sharp knife And took a slice out of life Now my room’s padded
Two sides every coin Yet reality has three Yours, mine, and the truth
He came by today We broke bread, talked, departed Life’s final house guest
A visitor came Yet he was not welcomed in Why do we fear Him?
Once more to the mine Dig, work, suffer, cough, black lung Is this truly all?
They railed against fate Then became that which they hate Pure hypocrisy ::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::: For the victims who become the victimizers. For Gaza.
