Destruction Poem by Maya Hanson

Destruction



How long till we lose?
I'll give you an hourglass.

Write me a list of all the things
we will toss into the flames,

all the chaos trapped in my brain
when you're in the room
or not,

all the simple I long for
and the quiet and the close
I know I shouldn't want,

all the letters I will pin to your name
that will stay after the bomb drops-
26.

Now I can't use a pen without dragging you behind it.
