Ghost Mall

Ghost Mall


The chess king
	still searches for
his foxmoor inside
	the ghost mall;
she slips behind
	a casual corner
somewhere
	down by the Gimbels
sipping an Orange Julius
	with Hot Sam.
No one sees 
	the old 
 bypass men		
traipsing around
	the dry fountains
overandover
	in their white
 Kinney’s
others
	loop-de-loop,
over the Scoop
and under the 
	kiosk bone fields
stopping to 
 	prayby
the Lazarus door
