cold light another empty bottle promise
—MARION CLARKE
The cold light of day and still empty promises earlier born out of a bottle of hooch. Excellent monoku.

It's uncomfortably accurate which a good poem should be at times.
"Uncomfortably accurate" is a great description of it. Thanks again.
I can feel that cold truth. Great poem.
Thank you, Dawn. I appreciate the comment.
