Splendid delivery. Well done.
As ever your imagery is spell binding.. the last verse so vivid..
a magic delivery from the box of words
“The flighty freedom of rain

Amazing. Agreed, “flighty freedom…” is magic. But I like the ending as well, “mouth’s a ghost town” is stunning.
I found a gentleness in these words along with something powerful. You know how to write!
Wow. This is gorgeous, De. “There’s mercy at the center of these tides that bind.” 💗
This is amazing, from start to finish.
‘mouth’s a ghost town’ – Wow! Love this, De. Excellent use of words!
