In Praise Of Imperfection
The other day an article mentioned an art of work being a way of praising uncompleted projects. It inspired me to write a short essay about imperfection. Which I then felt like imperfecting some more, and that's how it turned into a few (absolutely imperfect) haiku-poems. Here they come.

“I tried to hold on to this solid cliff
like a place to hide and stay
but even there you found me
your waves loosened my grip
your waters washed me down
I am becoming a current in your ocean
and so is the cliff
it crumbles away and apart
it falls and disappears

“The greatest hazard of all, losing one’s self, can occur very quietly in the world, as if it were nothing at all. No other loss can occur so quietly; any other loss - an arm, a leg, five dollars, a wife, etc. - is sure to be noticed.”
