Lost Perfection
A face made of clay A work of perfection One eyebrow painstakingly painted, hair by hair Another waiting for the perfectionist’s hand
Perfect lips, smooth, no smile Rounded chin, button nose Ears of perfect symmetry
A bald head waits its turn Blonde, brunette, maybe black The artist sits and stares
Two eyes stare back, glancing out of focus Waiting Longing
The artist sits, muse vanished Clay hardens The perfect model Left undone
