Jenny Santellano- A Poem


The Ghosts Have Forgotten They are Dead
 
It’s why they coerce me to let go of
every nightmare I attempt to reiterate
as it rests languidly on my tongue
 
A temporary matrimony, my nonsense
brain bullying me into agreement
with a hypodermic needle to my ventricle
 
But I am more than six feet under, the crows
already dancing on my soul
It’s just a matter of time before they remember
I am one of them
