Only four words left
Ghost, when there are only
four words left to be spoken
statement or question
and at the end of it all
it's just a matter of time
the heart's overflow
is loaded with refuse
bleeding, bleeding out
imperfection guaranteed
the moon howling
back at the wolves
the stars' batteries
flickering on and off
the sun sinking fast
a stone's throw into the sea
one minute there
the next gone, gone
the ticket, a boarding pass
last four words flying, hiding
a million and one
