My Life Is Cast

By coyote

Topics: Poetry Source: AllPoetry Original source

The best of worlds do not provide   a cure for defects that I hide;   a cure that has been long denied   the essence that is me. My essence, molten, poured in sand   with defects caused by careless hands   has hardened, but now life demands   that "perfect" I should be. The future of my life has passed   this way before, but now, at last,   the die, imperfect, long since cast,   shows cracks that all can see.
