vacant

they keep coming; to room 306-

they checked in, locked the door, and dissapeared-

they order room service, but no one is their to pick it up

they call it ghost

hunters come with their cameras

leave ith empty pockets

all to see room 306.

i’ve seen him, not a they, a he

he comes late and leaves early

he orders food just before he arrives

he doesn’t communicate anymore

just a being

exisiting in a shell

the hunters were so close

to catching a real ghost

igor

transfused:

bleeding finger tips

over your tan washed drum kit

dragging your worship like a rotting corpse.

early on sundays to meet

before wandering eyes can undress

my wishful thinking;wishing

and put her in wolf fur.

i am sorry for missing our date

not one to do that

but

i can’t promise

that it won’t

happen again

playoff game

we lost.

we were barely playing,

showed up late

cussed each other out

finished strong

too not show up when it mattered most;

it’s not all you

i know the ball could have been better

not perfect, just better

we were never perfect

just humans

showing up each game

playing for our lives

inner demons

i created you

i.

like god with an atom

a sorcerer with a spell

a scientist with the elements

i gave you purpose;

with the swish of ink

with the words of centuries before, with the graceful eyes in my skill, and the hands dished from the pot of decades of molding-

this

is

mine.

it sleeps in my head

dodging bullets made of lead

we carry that blood,

but i gave you life-

your sluggish steps in my inner chambers

rattle while i rest

when you’re most upbeat

i am

down
