I.

I approached and
this ghost came readily:

Sunny,
her long hair
tied in early years

In summer passed the footsteps
of her father, her sisters who
locked at all times
the house

II.

I
fell in love

Sunny, overcome to prove
the validity
of a plane crash in 1942

Sunny states that she moved beyond time
I find the love that she spent
surrounding the alleged spirit

the long hair
her own gold locks
the question

III.

the ghost lived
that she would come back
spend the rest of her 20 memories
stay the night

or two or
four

the smell the
worsening pain
neared
reached the floor

IV.

her long hair
lifted in the air she

met her shocked face
10 feet away

touched her own mystery

rushed and let and
heard the piano play on
in a room from
every light in time

time

V.

I find myself leaning
I am first to cry
the stories
the ghost
the ever-present opportunity

the full-moon-glow of just:

a house.
This is an erasure of an article found in my college's weekly newspaper. The article was written by a skeptical student about the spooky legend of a house near our college campus.
