I watch the tide come in…

Featured

Helplessly, gleefully, drawn to the sea, to where light dances on waves and comes tumbling ashore in a crash of white foam, to a place that is neither land, nor ocean.

Pointed blades nipped through fabric. But the sun shone through the morning haze, the wind filled my city-lungs with clean … Continue reading In the Dunes
