Imitatio Vita

1. A vast retraction of the tide. Its grand divorce from the moon. All seven bodies of water land within the custody of Earth’s womb.

2. Invest in a mirror, trap self in mirror, break mirror in sun. May every glare remind all who weren’t there when lights were on.

3. Replayed and overdubbed, the siren bemoans her song. A dirge, the words, her gentle tone, gilted in wrong.
