Do I deserve my ghosts, those of Mary
And Coraline, who harassed my nights,
Those of people i Don't even know
and stress me on my beach towel,
Those of relatives who drive my heart,
as on an isolated seaside, Those of
Hollywood stars aside my swimming pool,
and many more like Ulysse from Ithacus,
from an unknown odyssey, do I deserve
these ghosts who break  my articulations,
feed particular slavery, and deny me skies,
desires of loving you again.

I don't know if we deserve them but we are all haunted by ghosts from the past. Yann. They fit nicely into a poem.

Good to read you again Yann,
True, we all have them (ghosts) the goal is to make peace with them so they might rest quietly within us.  ~L
