No Assembly Required

You were disassembled and reassembled

But something went missing

Like that last puzzle piece that leaves an irregular void

A little thing, but the biggest thing

A small bit of matter that matters the most

The keystone to your soul, the key to me

You try to make the hole a part of you

You desperately hope the hole can make you whole

You panic that you have ceased to be

Then you wake up and know you are loved

Are reminded that an atom defines the element and all its traits

You are loved for each piece and part and however it all comes together

Your thoughts— and voice—and smile—and laugh— and moods—and sighs

You are reminded that we are mostly void anyway—empty space

It is the tiny pieces amidst this cloud of you

in orbit and flinging around and about

A beautiful messy collage of you
