the_ghost
notme woke up yesterday, some noise
burning sweetness into my ear
everything in my left eye blurry
veiled by a thin cloud, sunlight

i was scared
because of a dream
i was breaking away from

why all my worst mares
are of moving
back

into
old houses

there's always some scene

involving phones and windows
the new people always come back home

always a storm
a storm always
the front door
a reason to go
to stay a reason


last dream
i was there again

in the green beach house

and i know i shouldn't go there
i feel like i'm haunting the place

it's usually not so bad
sometimes i'm in the garden
sometimes i'm the greenhouse
oftentimes i check on the roses

this time
last morning
it was frightening
doors opening and closing

my mother's deceased friend was there
she told me we had company
i tried calling 911
line was dead


i am the ghosts haunting old houses
i push myself out of tired bedrooms

i can feel my hands pushing me away

i throw myself down the cold stairs
i am in the moist shadows lurking

i am the ghosts
i am the homes
i am haunting


yesterday i woke up sweating
pressing my hands against my chest
pushing myself away, breaking


from my bed
i hesitate to get out
i am scared when i wake up

too frightened to fall back asleep

reaching for the door to open
afraid it will close
on me

afraid
to breathe
afraid to be

i've been hearing strange sounds
they sound like sounds
they sound strange

i'm in the home
of a boy
who is now dead

he wanted to move back in
