10/31 of the #SealeyChallenge: the exquisite Reliefs by @JBruinstroop.
"I dream: my father and I abandon the roadside, / walk through scrub to where water begins. / A lifeboat waits there for us. Tonight we are pilgrims. / I travel in his top pocket, next to his bus ticket."

[Jarad Bruinstroop @JBruinstroop]

@tenille_mc Thanks very much Tenille! 🙏

[Jarad Bruinstroop @JBruinstroop]
