Imperfections
He stares out, haughtiness implied in brows
Here blackly burned above uneven eyes.
That large, uneven nose might just arouse
Distrust. Unevenly an eyebrow lies
Distorted at the nose as if it grew
More chest hairs there like those revealed inside
His opened shirt. Unevenness reigns through
The photograph. One ear flares far too wide
Beside that slightly squinting eye. One lip
Is perfect, though, this lower fullness pink
As passion when it’s slick. God let it slip,
This one utterness there allowed to slink
Among his beauties made of manly flaws.
It’s men like you who give perfection pause.
