Ghosted;

This
is for those of us
who live with, for those
who see and hear, for those
of us who walk with, for those
of us who speak and dance
with the ghosts ~ and this
is for those of us
who are become dust
and shadow
and ghost.

This
is for the shades
of light darknesses
on the wall,
for the desire
burning where no flame
can be known,
this is for those
whose minds, cluttered
and consumed
with that endless
stream of raging
thoughts screaming, whose
every inhalation
and exhalation
is a coincident
act of creation,
destruction.

This is for Him,
this is for Her,
this is for Them,
this is for What
could never be, and
this is for You who
only find peace
through dancing
in the Void. This is for those
who know, whose motto rings:

"Pulvis et umbra sumus."
