how a ghost works

[[ Some ways the spirit might leave the flesh. Some ways a place might become haunted. Don't ask too much. ]]


1. 

hit you so hard 
your body 
drops to the pavement

hit you so hard 
your soul 
stands still and wonders

2.

no longer in charge

your spirit
abandons 
your animal

the remaining
you becomes
sub-animal

animal-minus
snorting at nothing

animal-minus
watching the ghost

3.

shame fills you 
till you 
find a way to 
slip away 

disinhabit
inhabit

the nearest stone 
the guest room
any convenient tree
