Parchment Ghost

Painful letter

Bloodied words

left behind

Appears

Ghostly

A paper vapor

on the

cluttered desk

The kitchen table

Bedroom nightstand

Bathroom floor

Despite attempts

To destroy it

Even setting

it in ablaze in blue

it returns still

With its crackled

burnt brown edges

Same

haunted

message

Floating mist

Through

the draft

in the door

Returns

Returns

Refusing

to be ignored
