Phantoms

Phantoms

A Poem by Ghalib Bakhtiar

Phantoms


They come and go. Lurking. 

Behind translucent screens of laughter. Feeding off of my uncertainty, my hesitation. 

Faces etched on smoke. 

They beckon me in my sleep. Whisper to me what I’ve always known. 

The monsters that we create are the ones we need to slay.
