A Sundial's Whistle

A Sundial's Whistle


unlike the normal
seasonal change
(even in the most
temperate climate)
or the rattle of
dimes and nickels
jostling four copper
pennies in a deep
khaki pocket: her eyes
lost all vision every
three years for one
year until the leap
day appears after
the last tock or tic
of any other day
before it- the sun
burns her eyes every
time in one quiet
interval between two
sounds of time sung in
a tone-deaf language
into a large didgeridoo
and she's just going
to have to deal with it.

Prompt: Write a story or poem that ends with the sentence or phrase: and she's just going to have to deal with it. (You may capitalize the "And" if it's a stand-alone sentence, and it doesn't have to be in italics, but otherwise use it exactly as I typed it there)
