Greek to Me.
by and published in Edition Eight of Pomegranate
I still have your hat, you know,
from a summer so far ago
It can’t be reached.
That’s why you don’t have it back yet;
I buried it in the yard.
And, at night, when I try to sleep
I can hear your heart
rise up through the floor
like a ghost.
I cover my eyes
with coins
for the ferryman.
