meeting a ghost

Meeting a ghost
The convulsions of my body
if they are not waylaid
will give me away
that i am unwell
so to speak

The absent host,
that leaves the foyer of the body
Affects their own self deprecation, and self reprimand
in aftermath of manic disarray.
There is no one to tell
so they turn to the page.

PRECISE

LIFT UP
THE DEAD

///    Princess in a heavy sweater,

boys in see-thru sealed balloons:

My Death tries to make me swoon

PERSONAL CRIME

I want to bury that lost comrade,
   to part his body,
   to draw his spirit in white chalk
Living, to bury caution,

   and to conjure a mad,
   nightmarish shout

   on the line between Love and Missing
