caskets
opening like
hollow words in the wind.

mouths hovering over
whispers,
morning doves and
fiery wings.

these are the things that
burn,
the foul stench
of a wish,
still lingering blindly.

you are not
the beloved ghost
I had been searching for..
I blame it
on
the sins..

back in
the alleyway
smoke is mist
and
here I lay the words
that
never could make it,
they now cease to exist.

I always sit for a moment after reading you Meg, and stare out the screen door...trying to think of what to type in reply

but only end up with a sigh
