The Puzzle

Rate: 0 Flag

The picture taking shape does not resemble the image on the box.

 

I turn a piece slowly, feeling the edge.

 

Uneven. Rough.

Does it deceive? Or hold a clue?

 

I turn it over. A picture there too.

 

Other hands hold pieces:

bumps and curves.

 

Potential glimmers. Fingers touch. A fit?

 

This one? That?

 

Look deeply to see the Universe in a scrap.

Each one we join is a glimpse.

No need to rush. Place it with care, with care...

Press it in. Feel the planet subtly shift.

 

Yes. This one goes there.

I improved on it a little before posting it here (I hope, anyway).
