Ode to the Missing Piece

Dear piece

I cannot find you.


Are you lost

in the carpet?

Under the couch?

Did the dog hide

you away?

Are you stuck

on a sweater

that went through the wash?


I am filled with 

sorrow and sadness.


Where are you?

You should have 

a number seven

on your face, 

but I can't find it.


My dad tells me

"The piece is there

but you are convinced 

it is gone

until the end."


I hope he is right.


I stress

and

I worry

of your whereabouts.


Dear piece

please

be found.
