night ghost

The 
Night sky
Is endless
From this high view,
Nothing blocking it
As I look up and melt
Into the moon's milky light. 
He has had his fun, has laughed at
The vacant doll I was yesterday -
But today, I am an exhausted ghost. 
How easy it is to cut away
The loose ribbons of tomorrow 
When there was no permanence 
To this tired specter. 
Hush, there is no use
For words as I
Take my place
In the 
Stars.

This has a deep melancholy.
