don’t meet your heroes,
if heroes are ghosts,
you’ll find they are shy
of the traits you like most,
to start with
the charl’tans
don’t even have hosts–
no heart,
and
no parts,
and
no spark
to their glow…
No shadowed reflection,
No pose for the lens,
No dewy complexion,
No, ghosts aren’t good friends
–just shades
that can blind you,
remind you the end
of time
on this side
of daisy and stem
Besides which
they’ll vex you,
and hex you,
–their game
to annex
your soul,
since ghosts need a frame
a post in this world
–and the next–
is their aim,
a dummy
for mummy
on this astral plane
so next time
a mem’ry
makes your eyes
~glisten~
be on alert &
make your ears
> listen <
for demonic tones
dogging the
~frisson~
that’s tingling your bones
practice resistance
Since heroes
ephemeral
aren’t heroes in pall
&
ghosts are for busting,
–not trusting–
at all.
