Poetry Matters: Broadsided, Jan '10

Broadsided January 1, 2010: "One Lineage of Ice, Ravened"

Ice

from "One Lineage of Ice, Ravened" 
Poem by Jari Thymian and art by Kate Baird



By moonlight, we skate on the lake's glass surface 
on New Year's Eve 1968. My boyfriend orders 
oysters on a half shell on a bed of ice.


II 
Babe the Blue Ox is alive and well 
in the frozen North. Ice hotels 
have two-generation waiting lists.....
