so much of what I do is
only interesting because I
think I am making a gain
or I think I am solidifying
meaningfully, at last; (dreams
of flashlights and applause)
dreams of legacy and authority
dreams of recognition and
belonging, of being loved
(for what I do and think),
with desperate effort to
ensure my self worthy to
the dream and I end up
the ghost of my own
indifference; please may
I act cleanly: let the dreams
become the ghosts they
always were, dissolved
into the vivid objects of
my attention in the world

“dissolved
into the vivid objects of
my attention in the world”
…brilliant, shining ghosts….
…so full of empty light…

….let the dreams
become the ghosts they
always were…
Wow … it is a title that catches the eye, but when read in context … wow!
I’m moved by that phrase … more than I can say. I think of all the dreams I’ve had, dreams put on hold … and how they haunt me….
Your poems always make my day!
