your ghosts are welcome here…

your ghosts are welcome here: 
they are with you. 
there are no questions why, 
or how, or wherefore -- 
and you can nestle in, 
just over there... 
or over here, if that 
is where your heart's been. 

i asked you once if you'd felt everything: 
you said you always had, from early memory -- 
we laughed, that day: a taste of sweet-and-ginger, 
a holiday no calendar had showing. 
and when we left it off, the lakes were fuller, 
almost buckminster fuller, we might say -- 
but why we'd say it, no one really knows. 

word's gentle touch, a morning breeze that's blowing, 
across the lonely hills, and by the dome 
where clouds betray the fickleness of fortune, 
how randomly we just call someplace, 

"home"
