Who Do You Fit Around Awkwardly?

The image above presents the idea
of 'the humility tile' where those living
in the dwelling are warned against the pride
they invest in perfection when they see the floor.

  When I first saw the image the word
I saw was 'misfit', as if the tile was out of place
in the space it took up. But it fitted the space
very well, well enough to explain,
how we can be wrongly placed - socially - 
and how a workable imperfection
is the best we can ask for.

 

Preserved By The Cracks

Hearts are like homes, both are fragile
both will break with sufficient stress.
With patience both will repair and renew.
But only as long as we accept the cracks
that lend them a new flexible vitality.
