Can I be a ghost with you?

Let rainstorms and sun moats comb my muddied hair

While I sing hush-a-bye hymns to the aching earth

 

From orchid meadows where dew is wine on bare skin

We’ll haunt the hallowed halls of hearts

Run whispered hands along every fracture; every fault line

Make exhalations echo into

Canyons who ignite symphony from song

 

As wandering breath, great roots of red oaks

Will make lost a lovely somewhere to be

Velvet of fawn footfalls, harmonic with the sigh

Of clover fields at dawn awaiting

The blush of beginning

 

Curl me into every corner of this world

Let memory hold hope that exists only as truth

In aura arias and a warm hand home.
