How to catch ghosts

see above and below,

how to catch ghosts,

-

all you need is the key,

hahahaheeheehee

-

to be found in the book of

 revelations

and whisky and gin and fog at

moon - time - mid - night

unlock the roar of sea spirits and foam

unlock the sigh of trees

shake the skeleton tree

               the crow tree

                     dead tree

-

                                   singing

-

in a howling moon

                               -    singing

-

chasing lost ribbons of dreams

through storms and distress

-

a voice in the night

whispering

crying

giving nutrients of soul

giving strength through tearless

fearless godless dried tears

-

find a door / a portal

 - the 

egress points will find you, 

-

insert the hard wood heart of the 

-

           tree of life

into spaces unknown, and turn

                                            left

-

you will catch them in their 

         hugs and smiles of welcome

   and recognition.

You start out with a belligerent & sassy attitude, depicting ghosts in ways I never would've imagined. The height of originality, as I enjoy in all your writing. But again I'm surprised when you turn the corner into a more introspective & philosophical pondering (after that raucous opening), possibly showing that ghosts are mere portals into whatever madness already exists within the mind (((HUGS))) Fondly, Margie

introspective and philosophical pondering, is how I used to class my poetry, haha, no f****r believed me so I'm glad you recognise that trait in my writing, Margie, always enjoy what you see in the mad rambles of me, lol,

Each time I read your poetry Gram, I am paused in awe! This is magnificent, as always. You have such a wonderful talent of description and metaphor, superb :) The more we gaze into the known and unknown, we do find those ghosts like to roam within and without :) I absolutely love this piece :)
