This summer, I peeked under my bed and dusted off the ghosts of the past. I took them out in the sun and hung them out to dry. Surprised the stench leaked this far into my living. And instead of looking under my skin, I pondered on how long this blunt would last. Burned my fingers and scorched my shirt pocket fry. During my coma, I ran the halls of the sky. Shirtless against the precipitation of life, I came upon clouds that were puffy and white, black and charged, and gray with strife.

Greyed Ghosts
This summer, I peeked under my bed and dusted off the ghosts of the past. I took them out in the sun and hung them out to dry. Surprised the stench leaked this far into my living. And instead of looking under my skin, I pondered on how long this blunt would last. Burned my fingers and scorched my shirt pocket fry. During my coma, I ran the halls of the sky. Shirtless against the precipitation of life, I came upon clouds that were puffy and white, black and charged, and gray with strife.
nothing is purely white, nor purely black but a shade a gray that you must unpack work in progress. always open to feedback
