Great Ghosts
I had my hopes of how I would be
after living in exile,
after closing your eyes to me.
I even wrote scenes where I reemerged boldly,
bearded, alive, with “eskimo eyes”,
a new baby on my back, but from where?
But I didn’t count the fact
that I have ghosts in my mind,
stowaways, great ghosts of my life,
great ghosts of old wives
and they’re howling.
So I spent my wilderness time rolling on the ground,
pulling my hair and wrestling them off,
yelling at no one, punching snow.
I gathered ghosts and I gave them my lecture.
I bid them away. I pleaded and cried.
I said “There’s no room in my life for you or you
or your howling.
Let me undo these ropes
and go on living without you,
and not just change where we live.”
“Go on, get!” I said.
I had my hopes about how I would be
after sending them off,
after getting set free,
but there’s no such thing as living
without their prowling.
As you can see, havind descended the hill,
I still look like me. I still wallow like Phil
and forever will.
I’m teeming with ghosts
and I’m still whining for wives,
knitting my brow,
but now I’ve surrendered.
In fact, I have joined in.
Hear us howling!
