I’m best friends*

With a spooky ghost

An apparition who can never let anything go

Howling at me in code

In dead languages none of us’ll every know

Pushing prayers through the sky

Moving objects with his mind

It happens all the time

Eyes closed

It’s my spooky ghost

A double shadow with his ear against my bedroom door

Someone who lived here before

Weighed down with secrets

Dragging like chains on the floor

We scatter from the light

Disappear into the night

It happens all the time
