what is ghost?

for ghost writing

 

what is a ghost

but where we were?

 

a kind of pudding in the whim

 

we must imagine all other worlds

 

like smoke to tell a fire was

 

they’re one more winter from us now

there’s no one here to understand

 

mischief and anger

all the wrongs away with

 

what commerce!

 

in candyboots the ticks can’t touch

 

I went back to find a word

 

no one spoke least inkling

 

and here’s this telling a way around

 

imagine a footless float

no face in the mirror

 

roof fallen in long since

 

a city of ours upside down

a forest fell from the sky

 

rosemary sprig

the river gone by, still here

 

perhaps not quite over yet

 

those trees were our one chance

you know
