“If only the peace I feel right now
could be stored up and released later
when cruelty surrounds me
in the dark
during nightmares.”
Margarita Engle, Tropical Secrets: Holocaust Refugees in Cuba

“I feel the heaviness of nightmares
even though I am awake.

How weary I am, how sleepless
and hopeless—there is no escape
from the torment
of wishes.”
Margarita Engle, Tropical Secrets: Holocaust Refugees in Cuba

“Joy and truth both have a way
of peeking through any dark curtain.”
Margarita Engle, Tropical Secrets: Holocaust Refugees in Cuba
