Blue January

January 19, 2025January 19, 2025 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
golden gate bridge san francisco california

Blue January

sky, crisp air nips with whipping

wind. My face is cold

Seconds slip past and I feel

this new year sliding away.

Backyard

January 12, 2025January 12, 2025 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Palm trees sway in the

backyard quiet gurgle of

the waterfall fall-

-ing into the pool, crows caw

as I close my eyes to sleep

Rain Pours

December 24, 2024December 24, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet

Rain pours, morning sky

glows gray fog settles low and

warm scent of coffee

flowers through the apartment

pups soft snore, murmurs in bed.

Destruction

December 6, 2024December 6, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
grey concrete structure

Break the earth down in

to pieces of what matters 

I’m drinking blood and

writing words describing us

Let the cities become ruins

Waking

November 30, 2024November 30, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
bed in the clouds

I slipped out of dreams 

Mind wandering into the

Mornings glow and I 

Forgot what year it is and

What your voice sounds like doves coo
