Ghosts

there are no ghosts here
they've all gone back to the earth
as you one day will

We liked how this poem flips the usual ghost story vibe, grounding everything back to earth feels both real and strangely comforting. Cool reminder of the cycle we’re all part of!

Thank you, Team Poetry! It's a haiku in the style of Issa Kobayashi for a contest
