One need not be a chamber to be haunted,
One need not be a house,
The brain has corridors surpassing
Material place.
~ ~ ~
Far safer, of a midnight meeting
External ghost,
Than an interior confronting,
That whiter host.
~ ~ ~
Far safer through an Abbey gallop,
The stones achase,
Than, moonless, one's own self-encounter
In lonesome place
~ ~ ~
Ourself, behind ourself concealed,
Should startle most;
Assassin, hid in our apartment,
Be horrors least.
~-~-~-~-~-~
I love that peom!
It does startle most,
To find they are a golem,
Yet I suppose,
We all have a ghost.
