“Silence falls in the hole on the hedges, in half-/Opened windows. Tall hollow chimneys wide/Alleyways the seconds before the last school/bell before summer.//Joy is found in one place/Where roses bloom/Bees return once more/Dogs wag their tails/Children waiting patiently in the ice-cream line/Here in Botanic Gardens.” – Nandi Jola.

Jola (ig) is a South-African-born poet and story-teller who moved to Northern Ireland when she was 21 (Belonging Project | Flood).

Collingwood Avenue, Holylands, south Belfast.
