"This thin static hinged / to an ashen sun, / unwinding / where the sky was." Man, what a way to describe clouds. Great work.

Just beautiful...and perfect composition for that photo...or that photo is perfect composition for your words? Either way...simply stunning. Your breathtaking phrasing transports me, Joseph...how truly gifted you truly. And that comes directly from God.
