Missing Pieces I have searched the spaces that were empty And which you were probably longing to be filled Forgive me they were shattered so fragile and incomplete

Calista Baramki-Azar

Journey

I have dreamed

of stars

that were

so nearby

and which

you most usually

think

are so far

Follow me

they were exciting

so alive

and so clear

Lynn Park

I have dreamed 

the wonders of heaven

that were  dazzling and beautiful

and which you

were probably

striving to also  

see and taste  

forgive me

they were glorious 

so awesome

and so divine 

Prabhjot Nijjar

I have found the earrings

that were hidden

behind the door

And which you

were going to

throw away 

Forgive me

They were pretty

so green and nice

  Dirty Dishes

I have forgotten
the dishes
that were
dirty

And which you
were hoping
I
would clean

Forgive me
they were frightening
so greasy
and foul

Gregory Tam

    
    
  I have opened
the presents
that were
in the closet

And which you
were probably
saving
to open later

Forgive me
 They were fun to open
So shiny
and new. 

Nancy Pulciano

        
    
    
  You Once,

I have seen
the people
that were
happy

And which you
were once
as
well

Forgive me
They were true
so real
and unreal

Nicole Yang

Plucking Apples

I have plucked
the apples
that were dangling
from your tree

and which
you were hoping
would ripen
for spring

Forgive me
they were golden
so juicy
and so crisp

Allison Ferrini


    
    

I have broken
the spoons
that were
on the counter

and which you
were probably
going
to use

Forgive me
they were fragile
so thin
and white
  

Katelyn Decoste

        
    
    
    
I AM LETTING YOU KNOW 
  
 
  
I have discarded
the pictures
that were in
our album

And which you
were probably
saving
to remember me

Forgive me
They were old
so unattractive
and so useless.

Errin Hadnot
    
    

I have imagined 
the stars
that were
in the sky

And which you 
were wondering
what I
was staring at

Forgive me
They were mesmerizing
so shiny
and bright
