Mammoth Drift

Oh such pure unadulterated poetry in motion, the sea and environs brought to life in dreamlike animation, love this, not very often do I enter the sea in Ireland too cold for me to enjoy, but Your poem evokes memories of swimming in sideway drifts in Wexford, as a child having to keep one eye on my parents on the beach to avoid getting lost downstream, thank you for reminding me Sigrid, cheers David.
