• GLISTENING WAVES

  

  ‘You never listen.’ Glisten. The sun dancing on the water. ‘You’re never there.’ Dare. The cold water round his ankles. ‘I’ve been having an affair.’ Stare. A line of rocks breaking the water in the distance. ‘The children will stay with me.’ Free. His body weightless in the water. ‘I want you out.’ Doubt. Arms…
