Like a Mile Away

There is
blood
blood
blood
on my hands
blood that is not my own
blood on my shirt
blood on the stone
that lies at my feet
blood on my shoes
blood in my sleep
There are
ghosts
ghosts
ghosts
in my home
ghosts in my car
ghosts in my bathroom
ghosts glowing like stars
that shine in the sky
ghosts in my bed at night
ghosts that cry
and I don't know the reason
why
why
why
