I think you’ll be happier as a ghost.
-Ann Lauterbach
A feeling of translucence
overwhelms the body.
Blissed out of my mind,
weightless as a dream.
I’m losing count
of my feeble nerves
and my winding sheet
seems to have taken
on a life of its own,
caressing the shadows,
coaxing me along
to ever more sensuous haunts.
