He says he doesn’t believe in ghosts and yet so many nights he lays in bed with one, but he doesn’t know that. I don’t know it. I only know when I look in the mirror there is no one there just a body, almost a skeleton. Bones and flesh that wander through what is supposed to be my life and now I’m trying to find a way to repossess myself. They say ghost are souls with unfinished business. I still see who I was, who I am supposed to be, who others want me to be. I am unfinished.

A Body and a Ghost
