in this thick air of the past
a Shakespearean sonnet
my windows bathe in the mornin’ sun daze
instantly brightenin’ my dusky thoughts
injectin’ a flash of comfort – bright juice
into my kaleidoscopic, clear eyes
*
it feels like on a plane for the first time
I stare at the poster: blue, yellow smudge –
an advertisement of unearthly white
promise of an unforgettable feast
*
words gathered from journals documented
all my past adventures and misjudgements
they don’t want be shushed with one gesture
aware of their worth in the writer’s hands
*
I will arrange them all in soft phrases
once more for the sake of future dazed glare
*

Ghostly Happenings in Colorado
Disturbed Spirits In Denver, an expanse of greenery, Cheesman Park comes with a macabre history since it was once a burial ground known as Mount Prospect Cemetery established by General William Larimer in 1858. The job of exhuming bodies began, and some were left behind resting beneath the park. However, the ghostly spirits don’t wish to rest in peace beneath the park, and visitors here have felt cold touches, seen ghostly children playing at night, and heard a singing lady who disappears when approached.
