ghosts walk the streets with a stricken face,

looking as zombies with their pace.

they say, 'eventually...'

but truly they mean, 'only when necessary.'

like children, they cry

only they can't wait to say, 'goodbye,'

to a dead hometown where

red and blue lights have sound

and the death of lilies

is a memory of childhood sillies.
