Ghosts

They are found in

empty houses

sepia tinted photographs

dusty video cassettes.

They loiter around

graveyard Sunday masses

hospital waiting rooms

frequented shops.

They linger through

old songs

a poem or two

anniversaries.

They stand at

the foot of the bed

watching, waiting

for some company.
