ghosts

are destructive by virtue of being ghosts

beings of pseudo matter
beings of repulsive memory sewn up
into some hipster idiom of broken, alas.

In this town I am a ghost
I create fable behind people's lives

I behave without measure at their
absent observation

I leave hidden gifts
and take pleasure in it

but I am destructive
because I am a ghost.

because of haunted memory still grasping
because I hear my first love still gasping

I am a ghost because there is a tribe of ghosts

together the echo may be melody
together the dumbfuck may be endearing
sharing sadness from the cup of water.

I remain intangible because a story
is deeper than a story teller.

because if my story changed
my voice would change

and I've gotten used to it. 

I remain intangible because if I am a ghost,
destructive by nature,
I will never be able to know if it was really all
just my fault.





Or,

is that
you

this time?
