I chose from the final verse 'strong thick wings'
I used a photo from my archives; though  the clouds looked as beautiful and inspiring this morning while walking. i did not carry my phone hence i couldn't take photos.

HALF A DAY GONE - a troiku 

half a day gone -
she bites into late lunch
with gusto

~*~

half a day gone
the sun's spots shift
on the wall

she bites into late lunch
 taste of betrayal 
sips of Pinot Noir 

with gusto
those apple crunches they shared  -
her reflection
