Sheet Ghost

I am a little sheet ghost 

Unremarkable 

Two little holes about my eyes 

The windows to my soul

My hands can never reach you 

My feet don’t touch the ground 

The fairies that I entertain

Are all the joy I’ve found 

I am a little drifter

Incorporeal 

I am not found in mirrors 

The camera hides a troll 

I forget that you can see me 

I flee when I’m in sight 

The fancies that I dance between

Are how I spend my nights 

I am a little shadow

A spirit on the wall

I bend, I stretch, I bloat, I shrink

Wherever candles fall

Remind me not of real life 

Of who I “am” to you 

I’m haunted by the poltergeist 

Of all I failed to do 

I am a little sheet ghost 

Hiding now away 

My words all echo harmlessly 

My colors shades of grey. 

I am a little drifter

Fading from your sight 

I am a little shadow

Waiting for the night
