CASPER
THE FRIENDLY GHOST
Fate's a stable lesson
after all: the trees
can't grow into the
prevailing wind—the
bird-like hands
can't fly.
Where the waves fold back
and the high cliff guides—
this elegy
keeps the heart
beating and the blood
from going cold
while the nerves
web the body—
the body-dream.
