head space occupied by stray phantoms
which once had a soul
now merely abstract beings
lost spirits who found shelter
in the depths of my mind
forged a lonely home
deep in the trenches of my memory
buried their secrets
in the hollow of my chest
like an adhesive that can’t be removed
and in there they live on
their legacy preserved
their existence immortal

their legacy preserved
