Geometry

life

can be whole

or hole, where half of the whole has been

stripped away, or mislaid

either way, the missing half, whether


good

or bad, leaves

a partial whole, something less than whole

wind & rain pour into

the open hole, comfort & pleasure


fade

so we work

to fill the hole, to make the hole whole

but the missing half was

one of a kind, all else is a square


peg

in a round

hole, time passes, margins erode, whole

lifetimes sputter without

finding the match to light the empty


space

where the hole

is, nota bene, the someone light-

ing the match must be some-

one new making a whole new whole, not


same

old, same old

such a trial to fill that empty hole

might it take forever

to make two halves whole? forget the damn


hole

another way

is not to let the whole fall apart

but that means putting up

with flaws, means life in a broken whole
