Traumasement – (noun)- ��the hidden area of one’s mind/body where haunting memories are kept.

Winter. Several years past millenium. I sit in style of meditation. Swallow fist of hangnails and crooked knuckles as I unhinge clasp toward traumasement, peel away cobwebs like puffs of sticky smoke and begin to address. Begin to read the footnotes of misery.

Here, in the��traumasement, I sniff dust like invisible particles of cocaine, coughing up bloody remnants of the bones of my memories.
