Landing Linda Mcquarrie-Bowerman Yesterday I plucked sand out of crevices that ached like they hadn’t seen the light of day since one of my past lives and this morning I wake in a bed a long way from a bench seat on a bus with dirty windows, and a suitcase full of budget-priced reminders of where/what/who I was leaving. The sea, grey brushed metal, sometimes cerulean blue, is my new kin: its surface mirrors my surface, undulating, as if mysterious restless creatures writhe underneath, impatient to breach. From my door, I can see a bank of trees shadowing a rock shelf where fishermen risk their lives, the ocean’s froth boiling around their legs, and watching them, I hold my breath. And I hold my breath when I realise where I’ve ended up and when I notice seaweed clinging to driftwood or scuttling hermit crabs or a girl strolling the beach her buttocks smooth as half moons and I have to remind myself to exhale, to keep my eyes on the horizon splitting from the sky and to believe that I am as Amphitrite, the orchestrator of my own metamorphosis. 5
