Anne Mikusinski has been writing poems and short stories since she was seven years old and probably making them up for long before that. 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.
Night Lights
I watch you reaching
For the elusive
And intangible
Something
That fuels your work
And ignites your passion
And envy
How you
Capture it briefly
Then let it go
To light sparks
Elsewhere..
