Perfection
is a pockmarked chin,
the dented delftware,
or a greasy fingerprint
in a book unread.
Perfection
is a day between,
the sickle moon
and lukewarm tea
shared with friends.
Perfection is what was
and is.

this is everything. metaphor, alliteration, and simply sweet.

Love it, Bjorn.
So seldom do we recognize the perfect moment as it is happening to us!
ReplyDeleteYou nailed that last line. Perfection personified.
ReplyDeleteI like how the indented lines create a book club kind of vibe. If you were leading one, what "unread book" would you pick?
