My Place
written by: Joyce Butler
@joycebwriter
Send me a place with space
when life’s too loud for me.
Run my toes through white sand
under distant palm trees.
On an unfamiliar beach where
the sun sinks low.
Just me, a foreign sea and my shadow.

I was shortlisted for the Atlantis Short Story Prize 2015 and I've written the first draft of a book.
