between and betwist

the imperfect and the perfect

dwells immaculate imperfection
a space pregnant with potential

where the bruised and broken
radiate hidden blessings

where those crushed by dark sorrow
are breathless with bliss

where those still longing to belong
breathe wholeness and integrity

where even the fearful hoarders who cling and grasp
know the gentle art of letting go

a space pregnant with potential
that can only be sensed standing on the horizon

preferably and yes, foolishly upside-down
where the below and the above kiss

where earth and heaven embrace
where humanity and divinity intercourse

like an earthen piece of clay, soft and moist
fashioned into art and utensil by the hands of the artist

now shattered and broken,
in a moment of clumsy inattention

not thrown away, but pieces picked up
re-collected, refashioned and re-memebred

indulging in kintsugi* mending cracks with gold
imperfections not hidden nor ignored,

brokenness honoured, engoldened
immaculate imperfection!
