beneath the dry soil
water-smoothed rocks
the ground exhales
a fine cloud of dust
as you excavate
i found once
the desiccated remains
of a hungry ghost
translucent and as white
as the moon
in the morning sky
it had eaten its fill
and moved on to bigger
hopefully better things
though
what does a ghost eat
besides the memories
and the breaths of the living
exoskeletal echo (20190921)
Words and Feathers 
Oh mehn, it’s so scary to imagine that a ghost eats and terrifying to imagine it is memories of the living. I enjoyed reading this tho
