flaws

// it's been too long. I've missed you!

flaws
     create beauty
the beauty can be
     catastrophic. psychotic. unnerving.
it can be hard to see.
it might be impossible to see
     through the eyes of some.
     maybe only the stone cold, or --
          different --
     can see.
but there is beauty that we cannot
     and should not
deny.

it is pure.
it is raw.
in its essence, the beauty itself
     is innocent.
maybe not the creator,
but the beauty,
     its characteristics --
that is all it knows,
that is all it exists as,
that is all it can be.
yes, it was
     born
     from a flaw,
but it is perfect
in its own
     beautiful
way.
