One True Love 21

7

I finally disdained

The unfinished buildings

Whose insecurities

Had engendered faltering.

Only your complete

Brilliance climbing

Through the sky

Could possess

My imagination.

"7, I finally disdained" was first published in Two Wholes Make It Total, 1978.  The persona compares his new true love to an architectural wonder while contrasting her to those incomplete personalities that came before.
