Simple Things Poem by Maya Hanson

Simple Things



each and every moment
is a sky full of stars
until he turns to her

I’m bursting and bursting
with leftover butterflies
from weeks and weeks and lifetimes ago

and then she leaves simple things,
a scarf on the wall,
shoes by the door

he glances at the simple things and
lights up from the inside
and I’m a shadow on the wall

he meets her eyes
and my heart explodes
green
