many clever lines in this, particularly like the idea of hoovering up things wished unsaid! I know from my son talking to his friends online in chat writing how easy it is for things which if said with your voice would be known as a joke can seem...
this is so good, you have all the fascinating busyness and movement, the equivalent of our day and night. I find swirling seaweed mesmerising so particularly liked the second verse as it reminds me of this dreamy feeling of seeing another world
