Perfect / by Zander Ford

My perfect star

so distant you are

Loving, radiating

lighting my way

home


Yet

I can never reach you

on this human scale

these fleshy orbs

sitting so patiently

riding tides of thought

are blinded

to your intricacy


And still,

you guide me


Perfect

un-reachable

horizon


liminal space

between infinity

and home


my true north

perfect

in all conditions

of perfect


such a lofty goal

so unattainable


I thank you

for shining the way

I continue to strive


mimic your perfection

best as

fleshy orbs

riding thought tides


can see

fit

to do
