the ghost

the spirit
that lives in
your house
and walks
about at night,
has become
annoying.
waking you up
at all hours,
rattling about
in her chains,
singing, and
whispering
into your ear
certain things
you'd rather
not know, prefer
not to hear.
she floats
just above
the floor in
white,
neither angel
or demon,
but something
else,
someone dead
and gone,
and now trying
to set things
right.
