Delighted to see my poem from the film neap tide published in issue 41 of The French Literary Review, editor Barbara Dordi, with thanks and good wishes, here’s the poem and film link:
neap tide
we bring beginnings
bless and overlook
this silvery sea
hag-stone, pebble, snail
her rocks green-like weed
smooth, flat, velvet fur
we lay our clothes here
by steep pebble-slide
saltiness, breath, breeze
to deep warming sea
in wind and in rain
from every neap tide
on imagined lengths
stretching out for France
