Ghosts Scare Me the Most

“Men say that in this midnight hour, the disembodied have power.”

— William Motherwell

I remember the night

I drove straight through

At two AM

I fought exhaustion.

So when a woman

flagged me down.

I stopped to assist.

A ride she wanted.

Then proceeded to share

how in a hurry she too

drove through the night.

She spoke of the sorrow her parents

would forever know.

Pull over, dear friend.

Don’t drive to exhaustion.

Arrive at your destination.

Don’t end up like me,

cursed to walk this road

a phantom of the night.

“A house is never still in darkness to those who listen intently; there is a whispering in distant chambers, an unearthly hand presses the snib of the window, the latch rises. Ghosts were created when the first man woke in the night.”

“‘Tis the night—the night of the graves delight, and the warlocks are at their play; Ye think that without the wild winds shout, but no, it is they—it is they.”
