My aunt ran a shelter for ghosts
all kinds: shades, spooks, specters
seekers seeking hauntable hideaways
ever homecoming, never home.
Like that invisible lady who hated clocks
or that gentleman with the head
the twins
or that cat that froze, like a picture
but would disappear if you blinked.
Mind you, some weren't very ghostly at all
more like people with a little extra
or a little less.
Like that serious guy with the duffel bag
I always meant to ask which bus stop he was headed to
and what he was gonna do when he got there.
(What was in that bag?)
Or that woman, forever applying lipstick
vanity mirror, all rouge and scowl
skin stretched tight over old wounds.
(What did she wish for?)
But most of all, I wanted to ask my aunt
why bother
with this temporary home for permanent memories?
But I know my aunt
she'd probably mumble something about family
life experience or second chances
even though the truth was simpler
it was all for the deductions.

Hi, Please be wise, do not make the same mistake I had made in the past, I was a victim of bitcoin scam, I saw a glamorous review showering praises and marketing an investment firm, I reached out to them on what their contracts are, and I invested $55,000, which I was promised to get my first 15% profit in weeks, when it’s time to get my profits, I got to know the company was bogus, they kept asking me to invest more and I ran out of patience then requested to have my money back, they refused to answer nor refund my funds, not until a friend of mine introduced me to Lost Recovery Masters, so I reached out and after tabling my complaints, they were swift to action and within 36 hours I got back my funds with the due profit. I couldn’t contain the joy in me. I urge you guys to reach out to Lost Recovery Masters on their support
