Lost Piece
A beautiful island,
beyond all compare.
The ocean is a dull mirror in comparison,
incapable of reflecting you.
A tropical island can’t be jammed back into the mainland like a puzzle.
It would stand out like a ruby in a blueberry patch.
I bet that makes you mad.
You just want to scrub the glitter off your face
and get back in line.
If that would make you happy,
I’d help you do it.
But the light in your eyes will never dim,
