A Chapter on Ghosts

This chapter of my life
is called 'What Once Was'.

I'm currently involved
With all of your ghosts

At such a level
That I know how the sun rises

As much as how it sets.
Have you ever had the dream

Where you are falling?
I see clouds

Though I'm not sure which way is up.
Every once in a while

I find things
Not where I left them

And I wonder
Why you are no longer around.

At night, your memories
creak and hum inside these walls

But they say that
It's just age.

Sometimes I don't look for things
When I misplace them

No matter what is
The cost

Though not always
Does nobody's value

Add up to
Nobody's loss.
