The very last ghost before I left was
terrible seeing in fact
because he did not tell me where he was going before
he left
and
I had to ask about twenty different people
which way did it go?
and none knew of course
nor what I was talking about which meant
the whole streetlight walk home was
a fair bit alone
without knowing where the other part went off to
But don’t worry because two summers after he
showed back up
for the space of a letter
so I knew the ghost hadn’t gone back
to where it came from
quite yet
but it still left
me wanting to know where it went if not
here
if not here then where?
(Where, that’s where.)
