Ghosts have no shadows
they are unsubstantiated
rumours of a life…
I exist, not because
of my shadows, and despite
the times I’ve been ghosted
Ghosts and shadows –
without them I am two-dimensional
with them, I am poetry.
(Tuesdays, I borrow from Twitter @Vjknutson. Image my own)
Every line is gold, VJ! ❤

wow – this is another layered GEM
the lightness and thinness of the ghost feel – and the humor of being ghosted – hahah
and so much more

This is a fabulous poem. I really like “they are unsubstantiated”, I had to think about that.
