A new daily work in progress
A 30 minute walk started 15 minutes before sunrise and completed 15 minutes after the sun had risen | walking a line between the lowest and highest points | the ground brittle with frost | a crescent moon slowly fades | the day's first shadows form

their statement was void of facts
now feeling helpless
