Absence

Absence

Absence from the page
make those words grow in longing

Where have you been?
they say
Where are you now?
let us out

Clogged, flooded, damned.

Paper Planes

Paper Planes

By: M. MacMinn

tossing paper planes into the sun
his work burned away while he watched it fly on

though he was careful with each and every crease
he aimed for destruction and smiled at defeat

still clutching himself when alone
while your watching he's smiling
while your watching he's grown

Pushed

Pushed

By: M. MacMinn


Everywhere I want to be is here.
Every life I'd like to live is alive.

Alive and breathing, bursting.

Echos of myself, from another voice.

The years long, the time tires.

Breathing until there is no more breath.
The air gone, the moment pushed.

Dear Friend

Dear Friend

By: M. MacMinn

Dear friend,
Let me write you a letter,
and yes, no strings attached
Be careful not to misplace
your emotions on the emptiness of the past

I suggest you let this pass

Don't be foolish with your feelings
Don't be foolish with your heart
Don't build me into a mountain
just to watch me fall apart
