I. Letter From A Ghost
[font=Sylfaen]I have passed into The Veil.
My flesh is shed, I am electric
but a far undertaking of Man -
a wind to the mortal sails.
I twist on a whim, snaking
like a current in a void towards
a sunken sun, bereft of heat,
no smoke pressed to dust against the sky,
thick with warm colors.
Skies are polluted a sickly grey,
I would breathe white, were
the air not to escape me.
Feelings here are difficult to bear,
like a reticent drowning - static,
numb, I cannot remember what bade my stay.
The others come and go -
some into themselves, falling apart
like stars in rapture, I only pray
that my end be as beautiful.
