Solving the Puzzle

Stephen Dunn

I couldn't make all the pieces fit,

So I threw one away.

No expectations of success now,

None of that worry.

The remaining pieces seemed

to seek their companions.

A design appeared.

I could see the connection

Between the overgrown path

And the dark castle on the hill.

Something in the middle, though,

was missing.

It would have been important once.

I wouldn't have been able to sleep

without it.
