My cell "if"
I.
Mine outside
of context enfolded
in conflict of flux
whose thund'rous doldrums
rise and recede,
star-confluence shine—
a path
to imperfect
perfection divine.
II.
In shuttering steps,
further fled the knot.
—what,
such crooning brokenness?
lightning-singed my nerves
the peace portrayed
in haunting beauty
of our song.
III.
If only
what is
could shine
through fog
without
the night
aflame.

Very intriguing piece.
My cell phone? The one that has allowed you to capture all this beautiful scenery?
My small room, as in prison?
My smallest biological unit?
The if of the title is released in third micro-poem/stanza and suggest that the cell of the title is a combination of all possible cells.
The idea of being surrounded or enveloped, even if by open spaces, reinforces the idea of imprisonment. “The conflict of flux” suggests both the inability to flow or freely circulate and the unwillingness to reconcile the continuous changes in both nature and our inner self (cells?).
I like the oxymoronic sound of “thund'rous doldrums/[that] rise and recede. I can hear the wind and the fluttering branches of the trees going up and down in a dancing struggle that ends up relinquishing their verdure, a state of stagnation that can be made thunderous by the wind.
I wonder though how a perfection can be imperfect. Imperfect for us?
But part of a perfect system. Imperfect for our expectations? The Lord works in ways we can’t fathom?
The second section brings more words whose multiplicity of meaning reinforce the idea of entrapment or isolation (shutter, know, brokenness). The shutter can be associated with planks to fence off from impending danger or to the camera eye. The knot can be the fastened string or a bird that flies away from the camera while chanting a croon that joins the artificial noises that hunt that haunting beauty.
The final hypothetical situation or request makes think of the recent engulfing fires of California. Was that the only way to see at night that what is through the fog?
Is there any other way for our fogginess of that which hides behind to emerge without causing havoc? Is this part of the imperfect perfection?
@hlezama,
Alright H ... I have a challenge for you. Go to my latest post, read the Intro and poem ... but DO NOT read the Interpretation Section at the end. Write out your interpretation and then compare. @d-pend & @zeleiracordero, this sounds like a fun exercise for you guys as well.
And feel free to participate.

Haha. Sorry. Too late
Great poem based on the encounter of two glances at the world. One through a lens and the other from one's own vision. Both capture different versions of reality. However, the lyrical voice gives the lens more sharpness to capture the bright colors and sharpness of what moves in the environment and itself, he says:
And, at the end, he formulates a desire connecting both realities, one where he shows a hope: that whatever opacifies his vision, will come to light without ambiguities, without delays, without disorders, without obscurities:
The photographs are great, they have very vivid contrasts and the whole is harmonious.
@d-pend,
Makes me want to take a walk through the park. :-)
This rather sums up the whole 'd-pend ethos,' doesn't it?
Nice line (and beautiful trees).
