Getting Divorced

The opening line itself of this poem right away caught my interest with a mix of dreadfulness and glory. The way the stanzas are so scattered makes me feel like this is the way he was feeling when he wrote it, scattered, not knowing who he was anymore, not being able to put the pieces together. A person's life is forever changed once they go through a divorce, almost like a death because they are being taken out of your life and like he says in the poem
"and years later not even knowing

if the other ever

found a mate

without splitting the seams

or remained intact

unlaced."
