FLAWS

We got them  - like dark scars

on well waxed wooden floors –

a pitcher of water was dropped

right here  - during an angry 

argument - leaving its mark –

an “Ouch!” etched in wood -  

a tell – telling us – everything –

especially our flaws make for

notice about each other – as

well as story – that we make

mistakes that we need grace –

that we are a novel being

written – and this floor is just

one floor.  There are more.
