Reuniting The Rehash
the pieces do not remain as pieces
in a certain longing they come back and
find a way to compose themselves again
like a quilt
an abstract painting of green leaves looking like
some cuttings from a woman's old dress
and black twigs protruding from a canvass like
some needles and pins
reuniting into a unified creature in space
a porcupine fish perhaps
or a brown cone from a pine tree
images of the past summer
streaks of light at twilight after two shadows
finally say
'it is over'. They had enough.
