Sunday Focus: Sweet Dreams

Photo by Meg Boscov

[Editor’s Note: This ongoing Sunday feature pairs photographs from Meg Boscov with a thought (or two) from the managing editor about focusing on tiny things to find something significant. Paired with this photograph is a prose poem from the series AFTER, a series of photographs & prose poems that imagines the world without us, after the melting.

They slept.
Sweet dreams.
The world in the wash.
Sweet dreams.
The seabed white with bones.
Sweet dreams.
Sweet dreams.
The oceans endlessly wave goodbye.
