Ghosts

Over the years many have told me I need to move away from my small town. This same town I have lived in for 35 years now.

There are plenty of ghosts here, no doubt.

But nights like tonight....walking through the snow filling streets, with no other person around....the hum of the distant highway, the buzz of the high tension wires.....the barren trees and evergreens that collect the falling snow.....the millions of flakes that dance in that sickly orange glow of the streetlight......looking back and seeing miles of your own footprints and no tire tracks in the street...and seeing them starting to disappear........catching a glimpse of my reflection only to think i look like a snowman, with my spiked hair resembling icicles because they have been coated in thick flakes.................I have done these same walks now for 20 years and they never get less magickal, especially in the winter......nights like these let me feel a bit of peace with the utter alienation I face, and the disconnect I must go through life with.

Your cities, your scenes, your promises of more are nothing. They do not hold the answers. If I had to move anywhere I would prefer the tundras of Alaska, Maine or Minnesota.....somewhere colder, snowier. Somewhere away from everybody.
