Imogen

simple
   refined 
	unapologetically   elegant
		words used to describe a beauty that lingers within
			buttons 
			freckles
		   width of a finger
	hidden in quiet places for only the astute to see
folds &wrinkles, shadows &seams
		soft borders that hold back a grace that            overflows
sifting
	straining
		gently seeping flow
	a pouring out of details to light the world around
Hard, Cold, Unkind or Uncaring.
Unknown things that cannot encroach upon brilliance
	tender
		thoughtful
			meek &mild
	understated pleasures both in gift and in receipt
shifting then lowering… an upturning of the face
	balancing by the unspoken order of levels in space
			asymmetric and undulating - slightly askew
		unexpected effects of a stunningly natural stance
									corners
									quiet
							peace or solace
found only by those who would venture to seek
