diametrically different from the twelve days of christmas: ghost #11…

as you close your eyes
that brief dizzy spell you feel
me spinning your soul

diametrically different from the twelve days of christmas: ghost #10…

test the switch again
the light still will not come on
feel my hand on yours

diametrically different from the twelve days of christmas: ghost #9…

so many shadows
quick stepping across your walls
places where i hide

diametrically different from the twelve days of christmas: ghost #8…

so foolish to think
that i’m under the bed when
i lie next to you

diametrically different from the twelve days of christmas: ghost #7…

drape your hand and arm
over the bed’s edge tonight
i long for your touch

diametrically different from the twelve days of christmas:ghost #6…

last night’s sounds you heard
explained away by logic
shouldn’t have been ignored

diametrically different from the twelve days of christmas:ghost #5…

you on the sofa
me just behind it waiting
for your eyes to close

diametrically different from the twelve days of christmas: ghost #4…

with you i’ve shared much
my favorite drowning dream
where you don’t wake up

diametrically different from the twelve days of christmas…

rise now the spirits
thirteen ghosts’ words of darkness
sleep well if you can

ghost # 1…

i am quite near you
look into the bathroom mirror
just behind your eyes
