headlights coming through the mist
big green field, emptiness
thick brown patch of upturned soil
underneath, electric coil
all i want
is to be a ghost and have this place to haunt
ghosts don't feel
ghosts can wait forever for their wounds to heal
fire crackles in the woods
gypsy pilgrims up to no good
locking patterns carved in bark
everyone trying to make their mark
all that's clear
six more weeks until i disappear
and when i'm gone
i'll watch the leaves spiral in the dusky dawn
feet soaked in the morning dew
look at my arm, see through
this is not quite what i planned
it's not something i understand
all i know
is the universe will open when i go
tilt your head just right
and you can see me flicker in the evening light
