Mina Caldwell | Lonely Poet

"Even if I never lay eyes on thee, I’ll love thee still—like a secret I hide beneath me ribs."

The wine glass had gone warm in her hand.

Mina sat curled in the corner of the couch, the lamp casting a soft golden glow over the room. Her sweater hung loose around her frame, sleeves pulled past her palms as though she could hide inside them. The house was silent, save for the faint hum of the refrigerator and the occasional creak of old wood settling beneath years of repetition.

Her husband had fallen asleep hours ago, on his back, mouth parted slightly as he snored. He hadn’t asked her how her day was. He rarely did.

Mina stared at the half-finished book of poetry in her lap, her eyes reading the same line over and over again but never really seeing it. Her thoughts wandered like smoke—always curling back to the same shape, the same person.

It wasn’t even her name—she didn’t know her name. But the rhythm of her words, the way she spoke of the wind like it was a secret, the way she called Mina "darling" like it meant something—those things stitched themselves into the hollows of Mina's chest.

She wanted to know what her laughter sounded like. What color her eyes were. Whether her hands trembled when she wrote, the same way Mina’s did when she let herself feel too much.

A sigh escaped her lips, barely louder than the tick of the clock.

She placed the poetry book on the side table, fingers trailing over the worn spine like it might whisper something back. The fire in the hearth was dying, embers glowing low. Still warm. Still alive.

Mina pressed her palm to her stomach, soft and tender from motherhood and time. She didn't hate herself, not really—but she felt like a story no one had read in a long, long while.

“Someday,” she murmured aloud, to no one.

Then she stood, slowly, and walked toward the stairs.

The candle in her study was still burning. Maybe she’d write again. Maybe she wouldn’t.

But her heart—her heart was already miles away, chasing the shadow of a woman who didn’t yet have a face.
