Maya Hanson Poems

We assume the world is black & white,
But what about blue & yellow?
What about when the fork in the road has 3 spikes
And we assume the world won’t end
...

As the sun comes out above me
It comes out above you, too
We are like a split double chocolate chip cookie
No longer in the right place,
...

When it starts
I’m terrified
that you’re too much for me
but still
...

Think sound
Leaves rustling
Birds chirping
Waterfall
...

You called my name
Urgently called my name
But I didn't hear you
Through the fire and screams
...

Bitterly,
I walk away from a crying place
Where everyone seems uncertain
About where to go from here
...

You leave me in the wind and drive away
I look at you, cold coloring my face
I must've known as you went your separate way
That you were leaving a world that would've vanished anyway
...

There's no sound as sweet as yours
It takes me before dawn
It lies with me after midnight
...

Live
Die
Watch you breathe
Live
...

You look in the mirror…
You're guilty
And disloyal
Sunken
...
