The Poetry of Hannah Zerai
I.
in the night I crawl
into your thoughts, and dawn
shows me still brighter
II.
your stomach sits soft
a place to bore and bury
all my weight in you
III.
I lurk in the grass
blades, first spring flowers, and last
fall of snow, waiting
IV.
warm night, children play
set alarm for the end, hope
world leaders hit snooze
