when
I asked him
he
said we’re not lost
I
could only believe him
when
I inquired about
the
ghost in the burbs
he
said it was only a tale
yet
I saw many things
heard
bumps in the night
that
could not be explained
one
day he came home
surprised
to find it empty
as
if I was never there

ReplyDeleteI like the twist, that *she* was the ghost! Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteOh so spooky Arcadia. I like this it was most captivating. And you can be with someone who is totally Flesh and blood, and still feel like you’re with a ghost. Happy new year to you friend.
