About This Book

A collection of free-verse poems that moves through vivid images of red and memory, exploring silence, walls, wounds, love, sleep, dreams, exile, time, and bodily sensation. Short lyrical vignettes shift perspective between interior moods and urban or natural landscapes, often returning to motifs of blood, night, and eroded barriers. The poems juxtapose tenderness and violence, evoke fragmented recollection and longing, and alternate between intimate gestures and communal loss. Repetition and stark metaphors create a breathing, sometimes disquieting rhythm that interrogates how memory, desire, and the passage of time shape perception.
