His Ghost

I've been entrusted to his ghost
It's quite a burden
to carry
When my own aliveness
carries the mark
of his shadow
The hauntings
of those years
such a little mind
So Young
to remember
always blamed
the older female
for not protecting me
it's the older
males fault too
their ghosts
are twice the size
I have to carry

wonderful mastery of feeling tone
with a strange sadness-I enjyed it if this isn't inappropriate

You can put the burden down now my dear - say goodbye to the ghosts - you have survived and are beautiful - inside and out . mg
