Verse: you walk your ghost

you walk
your ghost

where i cannot
be seen

new york
or paris

but never close
to home

that would be
awkward

you walk
your ghost

and everything
is rearranged

waves
become clouds

rivers shiver
and willows sigh

and autumn
reveals herself to you

throwing her tunic
at your feet

you walk
your ghost

and haunt
everything

the starless night
familiar songs

rooms where
you dim the light

so they
can't pry

this verse
and me.
