Outside my comfort zone

Today
as the dawn
crept along
the edges,
I decided
today
yes, today
I will be happy

Rough feeling,
like running
one’s hand along
the back of
a horse, shiny, sleek,
crimpy, snatchy,
the wrong way

It did feel
wrong, like watching the
moon go backwards in the
sky, croozing into clouds
making a kind of wash
in the aether

Some psyches said
this will never do
