When Time Paused
When Time Paused
Promised sun, but yesterday haze
settled over the village,
obscuring hills and rooftops,
as if time itself had paused.

In the silence of the day,
a clattering of jackdaws
garrisoned the nearby ash,
a militia cloaked in charcoal and grey.
Suddenly - startled by a shadow -
they collectively took flight,
like pencil smudges
against the muted sky.
