Amnesia

Ghost on an ephemeral train ride

     can’t understand words flitting by

     universe dismantled - no spare parts

     fleeting images of sepia ashes

     landing place just out of reach

Ghost on an ephemeral train ride

     compelled to roam on endless path

     soul puzzle pieces on weary feet

     can’t sample invisible sun imprints

     a stranger crawling in through my skin

Ghost on an ephemeral train ride

     smog covers indentation of existence

     trapped in steel bars of unknowing mind

     circling empty in the wind’s bluster

     dancing through barriers of paper cages

Ghost on an ephemeral train ride

     Wolves of prey howling for me

     gnawing teeth on my psyche

     I’m a downright stranger inside

     shut jaws of damn wolf dog omen

     before I lose faint glimpses of me.
