handmade ghost on Nostr: "It would be pleasant To walk as ghosts walk, Swaying a little As willow trees sway; ...

"It would be pleasant
To walk as ghosts walk,
Swaying a little
As willow trees sway;

And in rain voices
To talk as ghosts talk
In the penultimate
Hours of day;

To have for one's heart
The heart that a ghost has,
Quiet and only
A little forlorn

With memory washed
Clean of remembrance,
And nothing to hope for
And nothing to mourn."

--Elizabeth Coatsworth, "As Ghosts"
