Awe thanks sis. I wrote about a tsunami and the immediate aftermath. But yes, was also writing about climate change and I've actually wrote a longer piece from this idea which I'll be posting soon.

I love the vivid dark imagery you paint in this poem my love. "Tore the flesh from mother earth," absolutely gorgeously dark. One of my favourite lines you have written.

Thank you so much my Onyx Rose. I knew you would like the visceral imagery. Guess you're rubbing off on me. X
