A poem for my lovely friend Skyler 😊 I grew up on the coast and could see the sea from where I lived as a boy 🌊 This is beautifully written and so atmospheric. Thank you Mark 🙏🏼

“no one moves / tea pours / the baby cries / laughter almost stops” really held the whole piece together for me. The poem stays inside very small physical details, but somehow the emotional shift becomes completely visible through them. Quietly precise work.

Thank you Antonio, for seeing that hinge. It is that thiny shift which lets other things in.

A lovely reading.

I’m overdue a proper plunge into your back-catalogue, my lovely! Maybe my Sunday will be sweet to me and let me indulge properly rather than these fleeting sips!

Mark Crutchfield's avatar

You dont need to but I also like you rummaging in my old draws darling! ❤️
