The World of a Ghost

By Anthony Cardon •
See, I'm mother?
I see nothing within the reach of my arms.
Glasses fall like frogs and sewers lick at my legs.
I can feel all, and my hands can extend from stones.
Air forbids the movement of my lungs, for existence that doesn't exist cannot function in permissible rules.
And death approaches them, so eagerly,
To devour the meaningless lives that lingers under
The bushes of time.
Squirells are so plump when young
And images on photobucket arouse young men
As unspeakable things are done.
Softness of touch
Protrudes pillows under the moonlit sky,
It slowly dies away like a feeling
That can't be remembered.
My passion for life lingered only
In those I had left my coins for
And my body crushed itself
In the form of a destiny of the ecosystem.
Nothing can return to what it was meant to be
And all the sacrifices I had made were eaten by
Good, but hungry dogs that took advantage of the meat
That served them,
Taking advantage of their education, their birth, and my death.
I can't return,
But I see all.
I see all
And my vision stretches out my body
And pops out my bone joints.
The pain can't be physical
And it can't be healed
For eternity,
While time passed by
Under the noses of all my young children.
