Welcome My Ghost

THAT I have tried and succeeded is only in great measure
that you have been there with all my fears and displeasure.

Holding my cramped heart and swollen hands is how you have
saved both my mind and spirit – the soul; still intact down
by emptying rivers that lead to unexpected consequences.

And to weep while watching the death of a perfect day and to
realize that birth was only half that day ago is sobering:

we watch each other’s eyes while laying on our sides and
breathing in cadence i tell you that i am a fortunate peasant
and you the Queen who has welcomed my Ghost.
