Lauren’s Notes & Highlights

Book cover for Meltwater: Poems

Meltwater: Poems by Claire Wahmanholm

In my dreams, I swallowed clouds that hardened into stones. My body was an infinite well to drop infinite stones into, a belly to slit open and stitch shut. In those dreams, the knife does not even wake me up.
