"I saw you lying on the ocean floor,
motionless, your skin glinting in the cold,
aqueous light. When a diver approached,
you leapt up and were goneβ
I never even looked you in the eyes. . ."

Woof okay, finally off work and not trying to sneak "yays" in-between customers.
So happy that this poem found a home at @paraselenemag.bsky.social (and that they included a recording β always a fan of that). It feels appropriate

Officially terminated my contract with ELJ. Anyone interested in reprinting a book of poetry about climate change?
