Mosaic of Joy
Piecing together
a mosaic of joy
from shattered tiles
scattered around her,
she picks up
their first kiss
and declaration of love
and snugs them between
the light in his eyes at long ago reunions
and furious lovemaking on an ugly orange rug.
There are slabs
for the lives they created together,
the children who once quickened inside her,
who even grown have the ability to move her.
She fills in the cracks
with happy surprises
and hands held under pre-dawn stars,
certain that grout made from love
will last forever.
