My Ghost Boy

Folder: 
love crap

I was thinking about ghosts too

As he told me of the many times

They appeared tauntingly in his life.

He spoke of a cold gusty wind, the

Lights guttering out, the heater growling.

The television shuts itself off.



I get a text message from his house phone

The light above me flickers and fades

He speaks of an angry shadow

Red and stalking, ready to attack.

He’s seen ghosts many times,

Have I ever seen a ghost?



He says he’s spoken through a Ouija board.

He says he’s seen a lot of ghosts.

Have I ever seen one?

I ponder away, have I?

Perhaps this perfect boy

On the line who I think of

Oh so much, to everyone else

Is just a ghost.
