Not entirely uncogent notes:
'Uncompleting' is a word listed in several English dictionaries
(though there's disagreement as it's not listed in several others).
I use 'incomplete' when referring to objects and
'uncompleted' when referring to actions, e.g. :
The car was left incomplete. -- some objects are not present
The car was left uncompleted. -- some actions have not been performed
Corresponding to these uses of 'complete':
The car is complete. -- all objects are present
The car has been completed. -- all actions have been performed
-----------------
In this stanza:
I feel it's concaves
colliding with mine.
like two tectonic plates
uncompleting each other,
a hole inside a hole.
I think 'crushing' would be preferable. 'Uncompleting' is distracting
because it's so seldomly* used.
BTW, I love: "it's concaves colliding with mine"
* 'Seldomly' may be archaic, but I much prefer it to 'seldom'.
