Imperfect

Imperfect

Hypothetical
theoretical

the end seeming static
a mental projection
a wished-for Wonderland

during, meanwhile, in-between,
the transitory states
are all that is

a durable dynamism

diversity, plurality, multiplicity
also all there is

eternal ephemeral
infinite insight

Other than your judgment 

what is imperfect?

 Moment

Moment by moment / the background chatter  / softened to white noise

the tick-tock stopped / the room fell away

Still

We held one another  / as if there were  / nothing else to do

Moment by moment / time melted away and / eternity blossomed

A thousand people came through  / hundreds were in the room,

dozens and dozens of times  / the single story retold

the cleanup begins while  / the somber celebration  / comes to a close

finally we took our  / time together / relaxing ... breathing ... healing

For all the hugging that day 

this 

was 

not 

that

no condolence given / no story told / no squeeze of elbow

no patting there there / no sighing / no crying / no tears

The next several days / that blossom held sway / the fragrance

arresting . attesting

days later while / the blossom still bloomed / I called her to find

I was not alone in that room

Moment

Moment by moment

The background chatter 

softened to white noise

The room fell away

The tick-tock stopped

Still. 

We held one another 

as if there were 

nothing else to do

Moment passed moment

time melted away while

eternity blossomed

For the next several days

that fragrance held sway

There was much hugging 

that day and this was not that

no condolence given

no story told

no squeeze of elbow

no patting there there

no sighing

no crying

no tears

A thousand people came through 

Hundreds were in the room.

Dozens and dozens of times 

the single story retold.

The celebration was coming to a close

the cleanup had begun and

finally we took our time together

days later the blossom 

still bloomed

and I called her to find

I was not alone in that room
