About This Book

The collection assembles free-verse poems that trace intimate oscillations between day and night, desire and memory, body and language. Images of flesh, breath, kisses, and dreams recur alongside sensory landscapes—windows, winds, forests—that map longing and the passage of time. The voice moves between fevered eroticism, tender nostalgia, and quiet resignation, often addressing an unnamed beloved and the self as doubled other. Short sections emphasize rhythmical fragments, repetitions, and enjambed cadences that foreground sensation and interior motion. Themes include longing, solitude, the eros of language, and attempts to hold transient moments against the erosive flow of days.
