The difference between
wake & sleep
is less obscured than
your friends might think.
The bell still rings
at the prescribed time;
appointments await
or remain unscheduled.
No one comments:
You look like...
(as they drift on by
pasty in Egyptian sheets).
The light in the hallway,
always on,
casts a twisty shadow
on a childhood wall.
What the ghost said:
Faith, if it is at all,
is a fragile thing,
waste no time worrying.
What you look like
when you've seen a ghost
is nothing different than
the faraway look in a window mirror.
