my sister's ghost

my sister’s ghost

my sister’s ghost noisily shows up all the time
in childish demands and the patiently told tales
a new and lonely world she made all the better
pulling the mind heart and soul out of an abyss
my sister’s ghost a rocking and rolling all night
the beatles the stones bowie echoing constantly
walls pulsate floors pound the ceiling trembles
in a neverending dance in a neverending concert
my sister’s ghost is closely followed by scotties
mick and happy and rory parade in joyful pride
brushed groomed and glistening and a hint aloof
in the love and trust and worship to be deserved
my sister’s ghost still holding to my time tightly
haunting of days and nights in the greater reality
