Wraith


Saunter down a hall Where the walls and ceiling do not meet. Through the far window See the Shepherd pacing among Still bodies, Surrounded by no blood, Only Handprints.   He herds the waves And they wash the dust from Those we saw sleeping With their noses corked and Their mouths closed.   I try to open my mouth but I am already drowning.
