Raid

A trillion ghosts of bugs
quietly haunting
this ramshackled shack.

I only notice them
on hollowed eves
when I am lying on my back.

An entire hive of apparitions—

Oh, how empty it looks
to the unwise.

To be alive on this side—

Hallucinating through fire
and ultra-focused eyes.

I have more friends than anyone I know.
