Maya Hanson Poems

Despite the wind
carving her face raw,
she bends to the sky
...

I am a
Human being.

I try to
...

Use a streetlight
to show me
that things are okay
...

Could you have chosen
a different way to say it?
So many words
So little time
...

A little less than
half the spotlight
on the side of my face
as I stand in the limelight
...

Wishes
drenched in the lake water

Dreams
...

You claim you felt a
spark. Maybe it was
just the fire in my
hands, directed at you.
...

Say hello,
say hello
I'm waiting for a twist in time
Say hello,
...

I press myself near the wall
hang my hair over my face
and hope all
you see
...

I almost panic when I look
in the distance, black clouds loom
But I'm on my way now
and I'm fighting against my doom
...
