Maya Hanson Poems

It's a sign
From down under
That we hold
The power to fly
...

I am not as wonderful as a
Word,
shifting and flickering like a
Candle
...

A desert
One endless pillar
sticks out from the rest-
a sun among clouds.
...

My eyes are closed.

I am a bat,
guided by darkness.
...

a shiver
runs through me
i capture its warmth
...

Envy is
not a monster.

It is a disease,
...

I see your eyes
I match your grin
I see your thoughts
not just your skin,
...

When it comes to a shot at happiness
I usually run in fear
I put on a show that night for
you, just for
...

I'm tired of being
the regretter
Can't I for once be
the regretted
...

Inside my
head
so
high
...
