i believe in ghosts, as long as its in dreams
May 1, 2009
she sits up in her bed
awakened by the ice maker’s
loud cacophony
she forgot to pull the arm up again
I wake up and ask if shes alright
she said she was dreaming about
her grandmother
who had just died the day before
her grandmother told her
to leave this town its not right for her now
so she started packing a bag
I told her it was just a dream
it was her mind not her gran’s
but she kept shoving things in
so finally I slapped
she gasped
I said, she is dead, you are scared
she was all that was left
but im here
ill be here
so just go to sleep
and dream of the trees
she fell out on the floor
crying
I grabbed the blanket and covered
her and laid there for the rest of the night
praying no more ice would be made
