Ghost Mirror

Michael Eugene Cantrall 1952 (Northern California)

October 23 
Rhymed
My ghost mirror tells me all I need to know

Please do visit my darkness so unfound

Dear muse please stay
Please never go away

When I sense a crack in my roof
your words arrive as absinthe rains
dancing through my empty pages
