I sink (poem #571)

January 9, 2020January 6, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

I sink, and

welcome

the cold water,

rising up to my neck

and over.

My Moon (poem #570)

January 8, 2020January 6, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Sun turnstiles

and I am revolving

around you. In orbit,

you do not glow, glitter,

or emanate a light source,

life source. You are a moon,

created out of cataclysm, but

reflecting light nonetheless

you are the center.

The edge (poem #568)

January 6, 2020January 1, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Sun watching. The dreams of the world.

I am here and holding the sun together,

the edge of the night. The edge of the world.

Remember (poem #567)

January 5, 2020January 1, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Memories fragile, ripped away

a stretch, reaching for-was it something

I said? Was it what I did? I can’t remember.

Distant Echoes (poem #565)

January 3, 2020January 1, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Distant echoes, remind

the horizon of atomic blasts

decades ago. The air, everything,

changed forever. Date, dated, dating

past, present, future, meticulously

counted.
