Excerpt from "Tabarnacle" by Ellen McGinn

Tabarnacle by Ellen McGinn

Excerpt

 

On the day, there is a darkness, raven black, on the far edge of the ocean, a soft settled line breaks the sky from the sea and the sea from the sky. Both summer blue, like twins. 

Do not start with darkness. Consider blackberry picking this afternoon. Consider a pie. The wasps going insane.

Greenland melts.

Australia is on fire.
