All the people I love are the ghosts that hunt at night.
The drive to my people’s home, the silence of nights
Quiets down as the horror fades away. On the roads
You do not meet the drunk, nor do you mistake the
Roads paranormal bending into light—a symbol of
Purity. It’s a thousand hours of walk, your body is
Forced into a gun powder (and your insecurities
Creak into the back of your ear like broken omen:
Clay plates falling on Christmas Eve)—smoke
Becomes fire, your body is an explosion of wrath
On all the wrong planets, your mothers body is
The first place to hold unto the warmth on the atlas.
OMG what a brilliant opening line “All the people I love are the ghosts that hunt at night”, cracking good. Plus other striking imagery too. well done. 🙂
