Kit Kelen #622 - ghosts


622
ghosts

the ghosts have left
the house still stands

earthy smoky ghost reek
the little loop they run

ghosts remain
the house is ash

we build to take them in

a call to arms

blood!

ghosts come sniffing after
a war must have passed here

you get that soulful smirk
skull rictus
have to shut the eyes for them

ghosts!
I've brought my own memory tribe

are they sometimes sleeping?
you'll grant a sentience to them

at peril
they are the moment spun on till

rise to the occasion
holier than thou

blind
and follow the leader

dumb mouths agape
past speech

just how much eternity
in each

they're winter bones
made mouse hole cosy

and they summer shimmer
