Two Poems by Louise Figueiredo

“The Lost Puzzle”
Oh, my heart came to a crumble
With the pieces scattered all around
Each piece was a part of a puzzle
The puzzle was all the memories in which were created
The memories will never fit into what they used to be
I must live on and cherish with an unbroken heart
Full of pieces that can never be put back together again
“Gossip”
The mouths of humans run wild
Like the sound of a airhorn on replay
We can’t stop with the chatter
No matter the issue
In school or work or library or dinner
Words will fall and things will be said
To fill the unpleasant air
