truly invisible
by m lewis redford
in life
I carefully and experimentally
crafted a ghost with which
to be
I long-time realised
out of a fog of anxiety
that ghosts do not exist
it was a nice idea – the invisible liberator –
but it was never going to get any
purchase
let us quietly celebrate
the release of myself
from rattling all those chains and become
truly invisible
“Cheers!” says this empty observer, raising a glass full of nothing at all to an invisible ghost….quietly….
‘clink’ (shhh) … damn those chains
