Your voiceover is just perfect, Rach. And suddenly this already beautiful poem becomes so inspiring and intimate.

Brilliant Rachael. Everything about the poem on its own, but to have it read to me, by you, was such a delight. I'm having all sorts of ideas about audio at the moment. Thank you for the simple gift of this.

"Let’s pack up the boxes

duct tape our little lives inside"

This was my favourite stanza :)

BRB going to live this out:

trace the rivers with our fingertips

limbs tangled in a skinny dip.

The voice over, the photo, all accompany a performance well worth a standing ovation. Well done Rach.

Liked it even more read out loud, Rachael. Modern getaway love-letter, beautiful and profound.

This is why poetry exists. I read/listened multiple times. This is so good! Please promise you will read this at an open mic.
