Ghosts (Free verse) by unknown^user
There are ghosts, living quietly in the walls
only making, slight noise to tap with white knuckles
trying to, find someone crouched in the corner
just as we, disturb them searching for studs and
hammering, hanging pictures of dead people
pretending, as if we really knew them well.
Sometimes they, can guess wrong and scare furniture
but surely, they can catch us with persistence
since we are, so often pushed into corners
as our rooms, are always so full with our voids
and our own, persistence only leads us to
buying more, of our ugly pictures or worse
our long nails, scratching out what little they have
in their space, poking holes in their freedom to
stare blankly, at one another as if they
were in love, or at the least trying to say
"Let's just leave, and look for another wall with
fewer holes."
