The return finds haunting, heavy dust that swings outwards whispering, smells that reach me aware and unaware. Can black shadows within be dodged without? I see reflections on every ceiling, and faces that are not mine. I mourn, laughing. Taken inside myself, all I want is escape.
I accept my ghost,
I do not desire it.
At peace, I know all.
