I made a recording of the poem in song form in September 2023, combining it with this poem.
As with this poem, written on the morning of the 26th of July 2023, looking out over the same bay at Flakstad in Lofoten as when I wrote Disturbance. Inspired by waves observed there the previous night, as well as the landscape of Leka.
