Fragments
    of two
        lives
sifted
   through
       fine wire,
spread out
   like
      fans
added
    and
       subtracted
and shaken up
    like dice,
then rolled
    across
       a board,
          a map,
your life
    laid
       gently
           out
    before
        me,
mine
    tossed
helter
    skelter
in your
    lap.
