Notes About The Poem

- Ghost -

- The reality perspectives
                                              from nothing to nothing
                                                sentenced to disappear -
                  

                  Night sister goes with light steps
                  silent religious hymns
                  from a bird's dry throat
                  Drinking cherry liqueur
                  with "Mr. Mighty"
                  Welcome to the kingdom 
                  of the devil

                                         - In bed lay a dead man
                                                 with a blank stare 
                                                      and bat's wings -
 

                  The fastest way home
                  Through the corridors of the genus:
                  run the Milky Way
                  The rattling of the key chain
                  between flowering tombstones
                  Steps become distant
                  The bells ringing in the last hour
                  to achieve peace in the realm of the dead


                                           - Ghosts were shadows in the night
                                                 spirits she thought had gone to rest -

Ann Peck February 22, 2023 at 4:10 PM I love your ghost poem, Sunshine, especially, "ghosts were shadows in the night, spirits she thought had gone to rest." that's lovely (and spoooky)

Joseph P. DiMino February 22, 2023 at 5:37 AM Wow! Spectacular representation of the astral, a spirit realm, that surrounds the near earth. There things come and go, interact with unresolved earth existence, are trapped and lifted eventually, elevated in consciousness through higher spiritual development. Fabulous write!
