Ghost (Lyric) by Jeremi B. Handrinos
I would read a book
If you had not been so smart
I might watch the TV
If you had not despised it so much
I could sing again, and bathe
If you hadn't ruined the bath tub
with your perfectly slit wrists
and desperate stare up and away.
I should cook, or eat, perhaps sleep
again; If your ghost was not so much
a part of everything I'd gotten
comfortable with -- absolute with
what I'd become used to.
Maybe I'd fess up to my
lies and contradictions:
Evictions, erections
Decisions, defections.
Now I run lover
Out and about
Now I run lover
Without a route
Now I run lover
Circles for you
You were never an Angel
But perfectly blue.
I could forget you, had I the notion
of swallowing lightning (now that's devotion)
and no longer fighting, or drinking,
or biting the world for staring right
through me by mentioning you.
