New Poetry by Anne Mikusinski










28

Thinking about 
How you let 
Your tenuous 
Hold
On continuing
Slip away
Without a protest
Leaving only echoes of 
Questions 
And assumptions
And half a million theories
Of what should and could
Have happened
Which fuel 
These restless late night words 
Imagining
All the conversations
That might have been.

Anne Mikusinski has always been in love with words, whether they have been read or spoken aloud. She  has been writing poems and short stories since she was seven years old. Her influences range from Dylan Thomas and Sylvia Plath to David Byrne and Nick Cave. She hopes that someday, her  writing will be as much of an influence on someone as these writers have been on her.
