I am not passionate or impressive here,

But dry and dead - or alive as some ghost -

Uneasy -

Where we flounder and you await some fun

To be shown to you, through me.


We breathe, where underneath -

In me, everything is tangled and the mind so vast

Like a sun burning in, but down among

These shadowy, shaping waves -

Dictating what should here and there, be done

To reach you and to attract you and to carry on

Stumbling over trinkets all around these old rooms...


Wherein real ghosts are meant to care, or mourn

Our clumsy, strange restriction in their legacy of air

We share and now say nothing in.
