Thoughts upon finding a mislaid puzzle

the sky was always the most difficult

where nothing but the v of a bird

served as sign

I look outside

divide in thought the sky

there is the bird

yet I know

that there is a piece missing

insoluble

time and time again

was that piece of sky

reflected in the pool

where water had become sky

I look outside

sky has become water

and fills the puzzle upon the panes

with tears

but cheerful my disposition remains
