THE GHOST photo: "Water 2" by Rody Luton
It wasn't just fear
that lured the ghost,
provoked him to lay on hands,
re-voice the sounds of birth.
but also this undertow
inside the body,
the memory of loving people
best when pulled under...
when impaled on their anchor,
a deep-sea hunting for the
sea-horse our water-born bones
still dream to ride.
