*TW* 2021 saw the record slaughter in 1 day of 1400 dolphins - a Faroe Islands ‘tradition’. Despite the efforts of activist groups like the Sea Shepherds, it continues. 😢 This is the grisly subject of my TopTweetTuesday poem, under the watchful eye of Marie Marie Marchand.

The nights were broken now… so fragmented by patches of sleep and wakefulness that he no longer knew what was real. When she came to him, the space was filled again. He reached out to touch her white face. But if you brush a moth it dies. No #trace of her remained. #vss365

For Tom Snarsky and #smallpoemsunday It took me until 5am to get to sleep last night so I tuned in to Shaman sounds. It had the most peculiar effect on my emotions... #poetry #poetrycommunity #poetrylovers #sleepless

I slip off the day; let it puddle at my feet; step away, shedded, bare. Body to body with warm shore sand, I #dissolve, soft trickles sifting me into a cradle, breath duetting seapulse as it palms every ridge and pebble. And my bones become water. #vss365 #poetry
