Digital broadside of a poem by Jory Mickelson in ballast issue 3.4. Black text on light pink background with black curly line on right side.

Text of poem reads 
“So maybe a hotel room's
really a pastoral. It's all there
right on the surface. So, pastoral with comforter
& pillow. Pastoral with telephone on the nightstand. Pastoral
with stranger's pubic hair
on the gleaming toilet seat.”
