More To Come
Ghosts surround me,
so many of them
holding weapons.
Knifes and Samurai swords,
pitchforks and torches
lie in their dominant hands.
All solid metal they hold
with only one purpose,
to tear me asunder.
They lure me in
with outstretched palms
faced upward in a liar’s peace.
Many times I choose,
and many times I pick
the path of murderous accident.
Only one way will lead me
into the arms of the ghost
holding only a shovel.
With the shovel,
the ghost could dig me
out of this grave I’ve fallen into.
Rubble and debris
have covered and hidden me,
have buried me alive.
Amongst billions of wrongs,
there is only one right,
no longer can I go left.
