The edge (poem #568)

January 6, 2020January 1, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Sun watching. The dreams of the world.

I am here and holding the sun together,

the edge of the night. The edge of the world.

Remember (poem #567)

January 5, 2020January 1, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Memories fragile, ripped away

a stretch, reaching for-was it something

I said? Was it what I did? I can’t remember.

New Strength (poem #566)

January 4, 2020January 1, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Muscle rip, tears to heal, a new form

ache, and aching for a time after,

rinse repeat. new muscle, new tear,

new strength.

Distant Echoes (poem #565)

January 3, 2020January 1, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Distant echoes, remind

the horizon of atomic blasts

decades ago. The air, everything,

changed forever. Date, dated, dating

past, present, future, meticulously

counted.

Lost (poem #564)

January 2, 2020January 1, 2020 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Mind and memory,

can I forget myself

in the smoke, a thought bends

like light through a prism,

no matter what way it turns

it’s always different, my memory

filtering through, grasping to

keep my self separate from

my dreams. Lost.
