Ghost-walking

It is fall and ghosts walk 

in the wind among fallen

leaves, mist, and fog more

easily than any other time

of the year -- the season 

of visitation of the dead:

people, desires, dreams,

never realized.  In any given

moment, a ghost can brush

a heart as it passes by.

That which never dies walks

upon the earth September, 

October, and November

and then the winter dreams.
