Blues Progression

 

slow

motion

slouch

from

minor to

minor

crippled

fingers

could

follow

these

keening chords—

when the heartache’s

smokeless burn in your

pointers, any modulation

any foray into sunny

majors would

blunt the blue

mood of this session

would sacrilege and stunt

this bittersweet dissonance, this

 three-chord shuffle keeping

the shamble pace of tired

feet on pavement
