Always delighted when my work gets published, especially when my ‘prose poem with visual element’ [as distinct from visual poetry] appeared today at After the Pause.

There was a miscommunication, however, in the process. I submitted the three elements of the poem and it was accepted, but as I found out today, only one element – the end of the narrative.

This being the case – and an honest mistake – I’d like to reconstruct the narrative here, with [I wish I had initially organised it so as a collaborative posting!] a tempting for readers to go to the online journal to complete their reading. Therefore, I will post the first two parts here now,

and for the third and final part, go here.
