Gheist by Vikki OwensToo long a ghost,
my name written on my hands,
prayers written on
transparant skin.
I wander from room to room,
admist the comers and go-ers.
Never noticed, and so,
I no longer notice whether I am
hither or
thither.

Posted by Chris Sorrenti on 03/24/05 at 05:28 AM I dig the syncronicity here with my own life, as I have a friend who's stopped taking her meds recently; she's schizophrenic. My friends and I are all quite concerned about her as she's disappeared in a manner of speaking; we're praying not literally. Your poem aptly reflects my current impression of her. Thanks for sharing this. |
