Fullness

This is how I came to be here
with the spaces inside of me having
been filled, emptied and filled again
with a substance like nutrition -
smoky and seamless.
I feel as though I am a remnant of
what I once knew,
and the introduction to the new
is a daily adventure.

The remnant remains unchanged,
but much has been added,
stripped, grieved and replaced.
Somehow, this mapless terrain
is home to me despite it's diverse landscape.
This is how I came to be here now,
where I was supposed to be,
whole, fragile and altogether lovely.
