HUSH HALO is a dystopian sci-fi poetry collection set in a near-future, shaped by technology and irreversible choice. Each poem is paired with a unique soundscape in both digital format and in printed books.

CONTEXT: After the Great Optimization we all had a choice. This poem below tells a story of Systoics, a privileged group that integrated into the system, believing they had now perfected themselves.

Smell of Rain

Hush Halo · Poetry by Sam Oldman

Did you know
they can drain the clouds now,
sell it as a hydration,
at an almost
affordable price?

Did you know
they can stabilize the pressure,
force fit the thunder
and sell it as a care?

You can still smell of rain
in a soundscapes,
feel the beat of rain
in a bottle.

I’m Sam. A mother of two,
a neurohappy writer with a shade
of inbuilt melancholy.
