Walking my dog,
what do I see?
Light flashes?
Spirits on my path?
They seem to be
just that,
and nothing else
that could explain
what I experience
right here and now.
My dog just walks along
and looks at them
but seems
not too disturbed,
although I am!
What do they
want from me,
what message
are they trying
to convey?
I do not speak,
nor understand
their silent language
or the dances
they perform
before my eyes.
I walk along
past this,
what do I call it,
haunted place,
try to forget
what happened here.
My dog just does
what dogs appear to do
when walked;
he pees and poops
and brings me back
to more earthen
reality.
But somewhere,
in a corner of my mind
a door is left ajar
where spirits
can come in
and haunt me
...
