Tug Dumbly # 42 - Three Degrees of Okay

Three Degrees of Okay

Old farm sheds

perfect parallelograms

leaning aslant

in a frozen dance

with the wind.

Evening clouds

a slow salmon

as you breathe through

the gills of the sky.

How easy it is

for things to go right

to let slip the weight

of expectation

duck the pendulum

of pessimism

let it swing into the shadows

like a slow swooping bat.
