Fit Inside The Puzzle and Dune Status

by Diane Webster


Fit Inside the Puzzle

“Forgive me Father for I have sinned”
as I sit across from my therapist.
Forgive you for what?
For doing anything, everything wrong.
Put a jigsaw puzzle box on the table
even though the picture fits perfectly,
did I do it right?
Start with the border?
Do the sky first?
Or the stone in the middle?
The red boat?
Did I do it right
even though the picture
fits together before me?


Dune Status 

One grain of sand
flies with the many
over wind-contoured sand dunes
like a traveling dune in air
until weight loads down lift,
and one grain of sand lands
atop a dune now one grain
too heavy it slides
and fills in a little more valley
aspiring to dune status.
