Abstract: In February 2023, I posted Potent Pink.The last stanza reads the resonance of whispered waves the steadiness of waves crashing the gaze of a waveless sea: the moon is sectioned into many but light always in sight it takes pain to feel free Around the same time, a boat was sinking near Steccato di Cutro, Italy, one of few arduous migrant journeys covered in the mass media.My friend Mark connected the poem with the migrants on the boat, which made me think hard, not to mention rethink the poem.
