A morning cloud bank
Rose from the horizon
At such an angle
About forty-five degrees
In my estimation
Shades of blue grew
Incrementally brighter
With the expanding
Length of the rays
Fluffy white clouds
Still floating above-
A bit confused
I tilted my head
First to the right
Then the left
Wondering
If perhaps the Earth
Was off-kilter
Or if maybe it was me?
Traveling closer
The angle became
Less pronounced
And a sense of balance
Gently returned
While the feeling of awe
Continued to multiply

I like this. very much. the strangeness of the title drew me in and your ‘off-kilter’ imagery kept me there; I had a very similar experience in my recent post ‘Woozy’ —

Reflecting these lines back to you,
“And a sense of balance
Gently returned
While the feeling of awe
Continued to multiply.”
I am taking this into my heart. Thank you.
