Where are you now?

Who knows? But my phantom…

Our ghosts slip from our bodies nightly to

Convene

At three AM,

Transmuting above the Atlantic,

To brush…

For one quivering moment -

Sea salt water churning -

Creatures of the night swarming -

Phytoplankton, floating, illuminating where

Miles and miles below, there’s cold reaching

Dark, down into

Lifeless pressures.

They align above the volcanic pulsing

Of the earth’s clandestine center.

Where they shiver. Shimmer. In sea-salt breeze.

Later, she

Returns to me in the early morning

Whispering:

I am not

The only one

With

Hauntings.
