Free Hand #29

Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

So slick, the body pulls back from the ocean tide. The waves collapse

against the shore. Where did you find me? Among the rubble and washed up

bleached out, salted wood? I am waiting silently under the millions of stones

that litter this beach. I am waiting to be revived, returned to the land of the

living.

 

If you are reading this Thank You for taking time out of your day to read my writing!

I hope you will return in the future!

Freehand Poem #28

Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

I’m trying something different today. I’ve been reading a lot of old poems lately that span across a few hundred years so some of the language has been rubbing off on me.

 

 

I sought out relief for the pain in my stomach. It grows like the weeds that take root in the summer. It was no ailment, it was not sickness. It was knowing that some day I’d bear to witness a pain like no other I’ve ever experienced.

 

 

If you are reading this thank you for taking time out of your day to read my writing!

I hope you return int he future!

Free Hand #27

Exaggerating, I know. It’s not even that hot in SLC right now but it feels like too much. I can’t wait for fall.

Also,

Happy Father’s Day!

 

Blood boils in the heat, this is all I can think of as I wash my body.

Wash the dirt, the grime, the sweat, away. It is all for nothing. Slick

and slimy, covered in sunscreen again, going out into the sun, into the

heat again. Tortured by it, twisted up in agony, seeking shade. Seeking

a cool place to breathe, to actually breathe. Let the sun go down,

please, let the sun go down.

 

If you are reading this thank you for taking time out of your day to read my writing!

I hope that you will return in the future!
