Poem
"Tsundoku Tower" Bluebird windowsill peers in, strange terrain “Rain Rain Go Away”, mysterious singing eerie refrain. Ghost Girl sitting still tears falling she is haunting Tsundoku Tower laying vacant on Treeless Hill. Looks up her glow attracts all the Tiger Moths, are gathering ‘round holds out her hands to them She’s no longer bound - so she gently kisses them they are her new friends In this, her newest ghost town. Bluebird looks While she builds her tower full of unused books. Pages and Pages of unread tomes Are the walls of her new home she builds them extra high around her like a womb to keeps the Others out - This is not their tomb. Strong spines on their side top one on top the other to the Ceiling neat so dark, so black noire Jacobs Ladder for her ascension climb to her empty silent boudouir. Wrips out the hearts of useless books all those blank white pages all that wasted time wallpaper to cover with colour all her empty stages with enraptured rhyme. An antique fountain pen dipped in pure ghost blood so crimson dripping wet from the cuts upon her wrists she begins to scrawl her new story, First Chapter and it begins with this - “I AM NOT DEAD YET”. (Lovejoy-Burton/2017 Dec) 1. Ghost Girl - XavieRinato https://www.youtube.com/watch?time_continue=1&v=rkGeq65ejMA
