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”
