Ghost Body

Ghost Body

Ghost body, I want flesh and blood.

Your heartbeat becomes a forgotten dream.
It stops when I open my eyes.

I go to the dark and stillness to find you.
All my senses respond in the quiet.

As if sleep made you alive.
The deeper it is, the more real.

I want to blow a hole through our disconnect,
reach right into the empty space.

See?

There’s Love, with his black jacket on.
Waiting, waiting with soft warm lips for me.
