imperfect

maybe

it was never supposed to happen to me

the perfect world

that some people know

so very well

maybe for me

it was the imperfect world

where i have no idea

where i will be

so i watch people

as they move through life

everything has a shelf

a drawer

a closet

a door

the way the moon

falls across their bedroom floor

there is an expectation

like spring before summer

daffodils before dahlias

the seasons of my life

are a blur

of whimsy and not enough

of a grief

a yearning

to feel extraordinary

in another’s touch

in the gaze of here

is all their is

a perfect place

for love and grace

an imperfect me

in this human race
