This piece is a contribution to the STSC Symposium, a monthly set-theme collaboration between STSC writers. The topic for this upcoming issue is “Beach.” .......... The sea’s belly is regurgitated seasonally, and this is what we call a beach. A never-ending tidal turnover of sand and memory.
This is so engaging, Trilety. I had a similar sense to what Edward said. And the shock of the wall being put up and then what happened with it. Also "a trait of fatherhood if not fathering" — so poignant and insightful.
So cool. Each paragraph is its own wave of memories washing up for sight to see.
Of course you'd characterize this as emesis 😂
Beautiful as always! Your use of language is fascinating
This is wonderful writing, reading words to an imaginary meter of the waves in these paradises.
Wow. Your work has a sort of rhythm. Lyrical. I felt myself being drawn into the different vignettes. Like Vanya said, fascinating. Beautiful work.

This is beautiful omg. The idea of mnemonic emesis (along with that word combo) is stunning.
