7:06 pm...
The sky is cold, stuffed with the hard baggage of winter. A beautiful moment.
“We all need discipline.”
about me
- sam of the ten thousand things
- the milky way
- Sam Rasnake, a sardonic twist of fate, is a pathetic excuse for a poet who once dreamed he was a human who dreamed he was a teacher who thought he could play guitar. Along the way - a soul-mate, two children - one collection, Necessary Motions; three chapbooks, Religions of the Blood, Lessons in Morphology, and Inside a Broken Clock. He even thinks he edits a magazine - Blue Fifth Review.

Good to hear from you Scott. Thanks for the read.
I don't know if you meant this as a poem or as a passing notation of the moment (and I'll let the difficulty of distinguishing between the two possibilities echo in the background) --- regardless, it is a crystalline prose poem. Almost perfect.
"hard baggage" is evocative. Suggests going away, an elegiac mood under the cold sky that eventually freezes all things.
Should you lose "A beautiful moment"?
The moment is already self-sufficiently beautiful. I know this is a pat, workshop-y sort of comment, but....
I hear you James. Thanks for the view.
Forest for trees... Just my mind at work, but I see it.
