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”
