States of BeingA Poem by John B. Bolling11-24-2010I am a ghost I am unseen Trapped in between States of being The skin now taught I feel it sting Tight like a ring A fat finger Diabetic Sweetness too much The things I clutch I cannot touch Uncertainty Without senses No pretenses My blurred lenses The visions fade Desk paperless Thought meaningless When in darkness May the road rise Reach the heavens Just past Nevins Where I had sinned A stiff rider Cufflinks stain Riders refrain The godless train I am a ghost I am the least The devil's feast No rest, no peace © 2010 John B.
