The Trauma Scope: Poems of Heartache & Optical Illusion QUOTES

1 " I dreamed in night
vision; white
flowers of nocturnal
gun fire – day
residue shot to hell.
If I held my dreams
to a windowsill,
sun would sieve
through my screams. "

― Jalina Mhyana , The Trauma Scope: Poems of Heartache & Optical Illusion

2 " Veins of ivy scale stones,
find footholds but
the caretaker cuts
earth short, peels
creepers from Cotswold
rock and props the dead
head to head so they won’t
topple like drunks
on their moss-soft shadows. "
