These are meant to be displayed side by side as it is one poem in two parts. But I couldn't figure out how to post them that way in the blog. Which is fitting, I suppose, since the two people involved in the poem couldn't figure out how to integrate their separate selves into one whole either. And that's a bigger tragedy than i could ever do justice to with paper and glue.

Powerful pieces! One does wonder what's worth salvaging . . . the lives, most precious of all

thanks Dia.

yes, in the end it isn't about the "stuff" at all. it's about realizing that our loved ones are the most important thing, and that we can survive anything if we have each other.
