How long is the exact
moment
of time that we live in?
Is it the click of a dog’s claws
...
Pheasant flying from the sage.
My mind was wandering when I shot.
I think I apologized to you
when the dog carried

I've lived in the southern Idaho desert since I was five. Served in the 82nd Airborne during Desert Storm. Have a biology/bachelor of arts degree with a minor in archaeology and currently working on a master's. I work for a government agency dealing with water quality, mainly aquatic insects and fish. My true loves are the sagebrush desert, hunting dogs music and poetry. In order to be a spiritual person I am currently working on not hating or despising our present commander in chief.)
Moment
How long is the exact
moment
of time that we live in?
Is it the click of a dog’s claws
across a wooden floor?
The flash of her hand
pushing the hair from
her eyes?
Or the fading grey of
a deer’s body
disappearing into
the willows?
