Ghosts  

Chased by ghosts up the perfect road,
Into the rain forest, out to the sea stacks, 
then to the ice and snow where, in
the distance, you can see a virgin glacier 
preening between the awful mountain peaks.

They catch me briefly in sleep. 3am.
It is glistening cold, there is no coffee. 

"Ghosts, I don't know what to tell you. I tried to 
Pay off all my debts, I didn't mean to embarrass anyone. 
Weren't you proud of me old Ghosts? 
Didn't you see my true intention?"

So now I see in their silence. . 

"You feed off the energy of my enemies and are everything I hate." 

I see old ghosts.

I see.
