I couldn't make all the pieces fit,
so I threw one away.
No expectation of success now,
none of that worry.
The remaining pieces seemed
to seek their companions.

I could see the connection
between the overgrown path
and the dark castle on the hill.
Something in the middle, though,
was missing.
It would have been important once.
I wouldn't have been able to sleep
without it.
