Somnambulant Vision

[anirbas]

The witching hour
I have yet to sleep
Whatever am I doing
awake at four
in the morning
you might well ask

Why I've been chatting
up random ghosts
and sassy spirits
It is October
after all

In reality
I have been cleaning
out my closet

My my the skeletons
to be found there in
did not appreciate
the unjustified intrusion
in their calcified opinion

They fell to clacking
and clattering with boney
disapproval disturbing
the atmosphere releasing
a dust storm that made me
sneeze uncontrollably

Which set the sleeping
dogs to howling...

The question about skeletons in the closet is what to do with the bones once they've been exhumed.
They can't just lay on the kitchen table beside the bills indefinitely.
They need to be reburied someplace else. Someplace where they can rest in peace, this time forever.

Sometimes through life you live different lives as time goes by it seems to me. The person you are now is not always the person you were in the past, and a different reality of being emerges.

Thought provoking write Anibas.

Thanks for your reads and comments, mi compadres. The month of October and Halloween always puts me in the mood to imagine the most ludicrous things and even inspires me to write them down. My favorite holiday, other than my birthday. Christmas is always too expensive and Thanksgiving is a fake holiday that didn't really happen in American history. Do enjoy seeing the family and breaking bread with them on both holidays, though. So, I am not a total Scrooge.
