GHOST HOUSE

There’s a difference between lonely and
Alone and the two don’t seem to coincide
Inside my house you are either or
For nothing is as it seems;
Beams and rafters hold hostage my dreams and
Schemes of yesterday but no one came to the window so we went away to
Pray to gods long abandoned that we may be lonely again and
Pretend for now that we hear voices, footsteps on the floor,
Doors open, and the roof fall in,
Begin to collect the pieces of our souls
Held hostage in the rafters.
