White rose deceptive to sequential shade

I ventured in the nightscape; electrons heavy
             as a ghost in the quantum light

illuminated by one dark eye; slant-deranged

                  girl's lonely cries; do you sleep in safekeep?
Ignorant to the tumult of your torsion of dreams

measuring what passage of time
we pursue; deft to sleep, seeking

heat, like phosphorence, incandescence - atoms breaking
into phantom retreat. I love you as a ghost,

secret whispers....carry me - I am by your side. Trail me like silk sheets.
Kinetic bound, alive
                  as far as my mind will let me see.

Table's set and the candle's lonely sway will
catch the cold of the wind tonight.

Whose to say they're not registered on the barometer
right now; the fibre-switch in the walls insulation
the energy in a spark plug's squat mind
that chill on the nape of your neck when
you wait for that lost lover to walk through the door

            life's fissions in the nuclear's reactor

clearing the land of false gods and empty prophets.
A cloud of plasma in the bloodstream; the test tube
                    experiment of a haunted love.

I saw a ghost tonight. It offered me the way to live.
The mirror broke.
                      I stared, just for a while.

There was no reflection.
