SUTAIH

H	*	H
I	*	I
A	*	A
T	*	T
U	*	U
S	*	S

And then it unfolded like a zipper that opened
teeth gaping through hollows worse for wear
top stop loosened dichotomy schisms exposed
slider with no way to go crying out for the past
time for perspective and to turn over the page

						S	*	S
						U	*	U
						T	*	T
						A	*	A
						I	*	I
						H	*	H

		           Am I missing something the aperture?
		           Should I weigh in with an anagram or	
		           break the interruption suspend the breach
		           mind the gap right there at the interval?

							DEPARTURE
						ENRAPTURE
					RECAPTURE

CLOSURES
JUNCTURE
HARMONY

	        Not everything broken needs to be mended
	        paradigms shift chasm is there for a reason
	        an open wise person searches new meaning
	        when things fall apart and repairs breakage
	        who needs a zipper when needle and thread
	        play with buttons and rearranges their needs

Creative work. Way to go. Seems like there is a contest about Hiatus if so this reads like a good contender. Sara
