Tractability by Tina K
no more
harpoons
spears
arrows
pinpricks
no more
dust motes fly towards freedom
upon impact
the worn leather gives but will not break
beaten smooth over the years
yet never yielding
the stolid cylinder swings
and comes to rest
no NewtonÂ’s helper
no opposing force
soaring away
no pressure
dampened contact saves the vessel
the pendulum swings
back again for more
dead hung
incapable of falling
unable to leave the ring
