Assembled Pieces Poem by jodde taylor

They assembled themselves
like chairs, like a rounded set of stairs
they're twisting drama
pulling and choking on breaths
of confusing spaces.

Lights chimed
in the thin glow of night
paralyzing any ability to leave
sounds reached in silence
needed no words.

So many times before
they had found this place
the spaces found when
there's nowhere to go
each sentence finding fondness
to begin again.

The walls assembled around them
as shifting tides moving in and out
but their hearts, bathed in each others glimpse
held together, the pieces of a forgotten season.

Living through a bronze reflection
as leaves turn to gold
and winter grows fond, of a withered heart
their world of soaring stars
gazed back upon them
then broke them apart into small specks of dust
to find a way back through the winds
which evoked, a melody of changing postures.
