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

…brilliant, shining ghosts….
…so full of empty light…

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!
