Tug Dumbly’s ‘5 Short Tadpoems

From Tadpoems 400 Shorts

I peaked years ago and was brilliant.
No one saw. They were all watching
some stupid tree fall.
*
Your fingerprints found
in the dust of a moth’s wing.
Law of Nature catches up.
*
Cat curled up like a cowpat
dust motes settle
sweetly in the sun.
*
Beanbag pollinates
a thousand eggs
strew the gutter.
*
Dawn cup of tea
mist off creek
Platypus gone
circles ring out.
