Omitted Organ

by Anita Mac

If I could love you
at this distance,
I would
in less time
than it took the words
to spark in my mind.

But, love at a Distance
is only another form of avoidance
for my poor brain to abuse.

I would.

I think it's pretty damn good, personally. No "Meh" for you, young lady.

While that organ is absent, I guess it's the thought that counts :> Are you sure you haven't just mislaid your notes?
Final lines can make or break a poem...a commitment to the conditional makes it here.

I love short pieces that convey such strong truths. This is no exception.

hardly anyone can pull off short poems; no surprise to me that you can do it quite well.
