i'll teach you what it's like to be a ghost how to move from space to space unnoticed how to blow through rooms on fire without wincing. how to be nimble but paralyzing and poignant. i'll teach you what it's like to cut a noose with a dull knife and not bring down the whole house i'll teach you how to take weight in your arms without falling and how you can get them to look you in the eyes when they can't see through their tears i'll prove to you you can remove a heart without breaking it if you carry it in your throat if i could impart to you how to take a portion of their pain without wearing it like a cloak or exchanging it for guilt i will show you. i'll teach you what it's like to be a ghost.
