At 5 o'clock a million things

 

It's five o'clock in the morning, it's -5,

my dog pisses as she stares at me.

 

Her steam, my breath as one

I think she's laughing.

I'm laughing, I'm wearing shorts and a beanie.

 

What is this,

eccentric englishness?

 

Stars in silver sulphide pierce a frigid sky

a Supernova vents it's dying throes.

 

She stands from squat,

the Blackbird sings

 

at five o'clock

a million things.

A sparkling poem that drops the reader right into the scene. Love the imagery of the laughing dog and owner. Write on, David!

haha, brave or stupid and possibly the latter.

Thanks Graham, and to RBK for the like.
