The Ghost in Us

June 5, 2024
By Anonymous

This house is a 

home for many

the taps on the walls 

speak with codes

it's the two of us 


The ghost in us-

the sounds over thousands

of whispers

below six feet

they raise the energy 

causing lights to flicker


Our home shakes-

they call us by name

a framed photograph of Abuela

shatters on the wooden floor

stairs creak 

and the wind howls outside

as the moon gets brighter


We tilt our heads to 

the noise above 

running past the hallway

mirror


And we’ve all died here 

the last ghosts 

in our home.
