Maya Hanson Poems

There's a girl
sitting on the edge
of the world,
touching the blue
...

The cool air
between him and me
makes my fingertips shiver
with the weight of a world,
...

When I can’t find a heartbeat
deep inside your chest
When I can’t find a life
in this beautiful mess
...

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

No, it’s not
time yet
time yet
I’m standing
...

She's a whisper

across the music,
...

Fawn footprints
cross the street,
stepping stones
in the middle of July
...

I am
broken
torn and
shredded
...

I wanted to save him

But as I lean back in my seat
trying to reach his past
...

I laugh on a stage
in a place
in a town
where no one knows me.
...
