a ghost ate me

gray

please help,

though the folks they don’t see what i see

because third eye is not normal.

that’s a disease, that’s a whisper,

if nothing is said, it becomes real.

how awful, what delight when all it takes

is a ghost.
some blessed imagination, some devil’s advocate
but i like to think i am in control, what does that mean
expect denial: i am GOD

such

and then it becomes obvious,
that

this is about sways, about winds, about you
what you want.

  • something for nothing,
    a flapping of lips,
    easy work huge reward
    which is quite ok
    if it was not coming
    from me: you’re counting on me
    but what did you ever give me?

not that much,

then you quibble, rationalize, make assumptions,

narrate, hey i know that one! narrations.

i tell my side too,

and we both have teams, judges, juries we prefer to cherry pick

so we know the outcome!

what a life!
dissolved into many squabbles buried
and the surface is like glass,
smooth, skin.

i love you.
it is what you want to hear,
and anything else is just … …

tepid, lukewarm waters.
i suppose it has always been that way,
nothing to ghost about
till the stakes become high.

i dissolved, you yelled, history writes
who writes the historians … …
but we do not believe in angels and demons,

  • greed, envy, pride, gluttony
    wait … …
    the food industry does not like gluttony.

and lilith prefers to be practical.
val dissolves in laments.
as for me and you,
the ghost that befriend us: they become our reality,
a nudge, a whisper

and soon the brackish waters become tepid,
unclear as to where the line is: i am in control,
you say you are in control,
we both may not be right about control.

a ghost smiles: i could end all this,
and i followed the ghost till
the cliff came about.
wow –
you said, a knight who crumbles
from imagination.

what if,
not proven.
everything looks ideal on paper
till it isn’t when real life
crushes the straight line,
what we have been told,
what is, how things should be,
it’s quite simple really.
ghost don’t actually say boo
till you do.
boo,
and i never saw if it was me
or the ghost that actually flinched,
faded out.
