Gift

I feel the night spirits beckon me 

The crowns of trees form a canopy overhead,

high above me, hiding the stars

A frost settles over all

moss and stone alike

A sudden breeze caresses my face

as sensual as a lover’s touch

Night voices whisper

The dark is quivering with life

Despair lifts , rising upward in a mist

I am overwhelmed 

An omen,

 a nocturnal gift

imaginary garden with real toads - Get Listed

and

Skywriting - beckon

Ghosts

It is daylight

but they’re here

whispering platitudes

in my ear

Their spindly fingers

touching my hair

My spine tingles

hard to bear

I quicken steps

my heart to ease

but they hang tight

I feel the squeeze

Please be gone

please leave me now

go quench your thirsts

on another’s brow

No

Wait

be calm 

Have some compassion

these touches they steal

are

their  daily ration
