12.1.15

Weekend words, so I can say I did it. ("I'm only here so I won't get fined")




11.24.15



I witnessed someone seeing their first ghost.
I was jealous because I remember
the fear and power in the realization
the understanding of new knowledge
that no one could steal;
part vision, part memory.

Now my memories hardly touch me.
The potential for embarrassment is too
great--I hurt to consider it
and hope everyone else has forgotten it, too.
I hurt to consider the memories of hurting,
even though I can access them in my own words.

You can see me now, I am substantial.
(I have been told).
Of this I am not sure, the evidence
is not convincing.
Your knives might pass right through--
hitting no meat, and no organ of value.
