masq

[] cannot put this together
the pieces have become entangled
and impossible to be delivered whole

lesser ones than [] must continue
make the journey and find their
own path

gratitude would be incomplete
if expressed without regret
so let it not go unsaid
that this should not have been

plain and plaintive
this voice rests on a melody
moving pensively
across the dissonance
that distances us

sentimentally,
this is not just a haiku
- a revelation!
