Ghost In

This ghost in our house
reminds me of you:
Jarring, but comforting.
I wish it would sit,
share a cup of tea,
its cold hand warming
on my thigh,
but instead it just claps
to remind us that it’s here.

    Ghosts may take many forms, and some are not as friendly as they could be.

    does it turn off the light when it claps?
