The Starkness of the Day

when the sun rotates backwards in the sky and the blue goes on and on without the wisp of a cloud we are in the starkness of the day when unmeasured time passes on the hands of a broken watch only do we understand when these days are gone the starkness of the day

Good title, great idea let down a little by a narrative style , which would lend itself stronger to " showing" rather than " telling" , you have the words stacked up like lgs for burning, then turned on the electric heater, not a criticism of your writing , just the style and lack of engagement....keep looking and it will blind you ...Ian

"Unmeasured time passes on the hands of a broken watch" , ... figuratively beautiful ... time is forced to perform a mime perhaps ...
