Ronda Piszk Broatch

IMAGINE THE DAY

following sea 
lions        making pretty 

excuses for      failing
to notice        water      

disguised 
as plastic      ichorous 

ice     a million mirrored
shades of sky         So this 

is dying   
endless trick           of light 

broken only     by December 

rain     Imagine            This

is how 
we disappear          beneath

 
the Sound        This
is the way we        travel on
