My poem questions the concept of a 'Fait accompli.' It asks, what if things were different? What if that initial action could be reversed? What if there was another way 💙

"What if the storm had simply
gone on long enough? If the salt

back to nothing more, nothing less
than a prescription for happiness,
a saltwater cure..."

The anthology is published by The Book Bag X Write Here, Right Now. I’ve had the immense pleasure of attending the Write Here, Right Now sessions that Paul runs. My piece ‘This Year, The Spider Is Invited’ was written in response to one of Paul’s thoughtful writing prompts at the start of a session
