"In Broad Daylight" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer https://ahundredfallingveils.com/2026/01/26/in-broad-daylight/.

Excerpt:

not to rid myself of rage
but to become a clearer channel
to meet the chest-scouring,
scab-clawing, cell-screaming,
throat-burning fury of rage

For When People Ask

I want a word that means
okay and not okay,
more than that: a word that means
devastated and stunned with joy....

The heart understands swirl,
how the churning of opposite feelings
weaves through us like an insistent breeze
leads us wordlessly deeper into ourselves,
blesses us with paradox
so we might walk more openly
into this world so rife with devastation,
this world so ripe with joy.

Excerpt from "The Night I Fell in Love with the Whole World" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer:

"Each of you, too, longs to belong. No matter what our leaders do,
the light is right to see how much, you, too, long to be safe,
to be seen, to be kind, to be loved, to be trusted, to be home."

Excerpt from "Annual" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

I know they will die,
the dahlias, the zinnias,
the petunias, the geraniums,
will die come autumn,
and still I buy them, still
plant them and sing to them
as I do.

Excerpt from "And Then It's Exponential" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

"Then the bars of that cage
bend enough for the most
courageous part of the self
to slip through. I’m not
saying it isn’t scary.
But this is how
one becomes two."

"Revolution" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

"there they were, singing and showing up despite,
and this was the moment that made me believe
in the path—not just the grand marches toward freedom,
but also the thin trails marked with courage and creativity,
small moments I can follow like bread crumbs
till this country again feels like home."

"There is so much now
that needs protection.
I want to be that flexible,
that committed to what’s vital,
that unwilling to yield."

An excerpt from "For When We Greet Each Other" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer:

And if we said it enough, perhaps we’d believe it,
and if we believed it enough, perhaps we’d live it,
treating every other human like someone
who holds our very existence in their hands,
like someone whose life has been given us to serve,
