No one else is here, my body has no violence left to give
I’m neighbor with another man who moves where ever I decide to live
She could’ve known be better, but while she slept I left her for the night
How I look in darkness is what makes me quiet in the light
This is the opposite of vision
A heart carried to the center of something real
Past the victim and the perpetrator, inside a body that needs to heal
I’m a ghost
This is a vicious world of poor design
I’ll build one of my own
I’ll make Jerusalem, Arcadia, or Meropis
Because I have no home
I’ve always been a visitor but you were such a quiet place to breathe
I saw you as a vision, where the hungry go to feed
I’m a ghost, in a world of loss
In my memories you’re next to me
A limbless jury and my host
I’m finally taking ownership, I’m a better lover as a ghost
