A tender poem, Amie. My brother and I found the navy and our oceans, growing up in landlubber, Pa. He owned a Saab turbo and loved it. I feel like embracing oceans, and their understanding helps unpackage life. Thanks for sharing for us all.

I love your poem lunaSea! I love everything about it from the title to the last word. Thanks for sharing that poem and some tender memories of your father. Once again, I find myself reading your work and feeling I have seen a glimpse of what is possible with words and feel both intimidated and emboldened to try and write more deeply
