Docile Ghost

The tattered gown lay fixated She let her steady gaze tail The people in the electric box East to west West to east Each way they went her eyes Were sure to go From dawn to dust And dust to dawn All day long It has come to stay And be lord over men Whose unguarded gaze Defies intellect.

OOOh, I love the ghosties. Love your twist with words eas & west and dawn to dust in those two lines, gives a special feeling to the verse.

Intriguing piece, Ingibo. Yes, indeed. I think we should all treasure memories of past loves - so much better than negative feelings
