Rock Pool by Mira Vale: Small Ecosystems

Rock Pool by Mira Vale—small ecosystems behind glass, time signature shifting from four to three, a tin can on the windowsill.

1 min read

“Rock Pool” is about tiny worlds behind glass. A tin can on the windowsill, a crab in a rock pool, the tide taking what it takes.

Time signature shift

From four to three—like the water retreating, like the crab and the singer.

The tin on the piano

Kept there while writing what was being lost. Small ecosystems, tiny worlds.
