So thrilled to appear in this dream journal, thank you wonderful editor-people @nffr.bsky.social. Thank you also to the Group 10 word wizards in March Micro Madness @smokelong.bsky.social for their help with this piece.
Delighted to have a piece in this flip-book. The Reprise - Tidal (pg56, near the end). Remembering the Beach is a lament about coastal destruction, which began life in @mattkendrick.bsky.social 's Glorious Words course.
