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

Drums

October 27, 2024October 27, 2024 Alina H. Hansen Writer & Poet
group of men playing drums along the street

drums along the side-

walk buckets upside down they

beat and sing echoing

words sunrise to dark and I

slip through sound gazing at sky
