My photograph

With each angle and each line

a deep dissatisfaction

A flaw that escaped

And a line so very fine

And delicately misplaced

Or flagrantly embarrassing

Each moment in the present frame

Needing the reframe

But each of the

Flagrant errors

Each line misplaced

Vanishes when it recedes

In the retrospective present

This window … this frame

Capturing the elusive

The retrospective frame of perfection

And then again the present displeasure

The judgement being cast

On the imperfect faulty being…
