I Heard That

Spooky rustling in the night In the corner on my right Could be this or could be that Not certain it’s the cat Awake for so many hours Diving under bed sheet cowers Last night woke with a start Watched light speck about me dart “Strange goings on, you are sad, imaginings” said my dad Sudden awake, hear name call See-through ghost against the wall Shaking, “who are you” I said “I’m from the house of the dead” 2/23/21
