For centuries
my weary soul's
been swallowin' grey-faced spirits whole.
But the porcelain broke
between the lips
I feel dusky fingertips.
I have short moments,
one brief farewell
before I place my sins in hell.
Stranger please--
lend me your ear,
I've become what I most fear.
I know there's no
such thing as ghosts
but I have seen the demon host.
