Wraith

in poetry •  7 years ago 

I rang his number
At 10:24 on Tuesday night

The deafening silence
That answered
Brought me to
My knees

A certainty that it was
Something I said
Began to overflow

And the tears burned
Like a caustic rain

Washing away
All but the ghost
Of me

Just saw this post, Tina - too late for the other one. This poem is getting more into your tone of voice - that's what gives it bite. Funny, I just wrote about ghosts tonight - we're forever in anticipation or recollection and it raises such spectres
