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
