poems

the ghost of bill murray     for Mike

other than
its ability
to lean
on a wall

and things like that

the ghost of bill murray

is wholly
ghost-like.


the ghost of jim jarmusch

     a thought
a ballerina
might have
of smoking.


the ghost of michael shannon

has this look
it’s had
before-

white wall.  snow’s double.


the ghost of richard farnsworth

spoon-trembled
as sugar

the ghost of richard farnsworth

imagines

coffee, a chair, a hospital

nursery-  the infants and the future

coats
it could take.


the ghost of vera farmiga

how sad, my cheeks, to fight
for shadow.


the ghost of willem dafoe

awards itself
a porn name
would make
Lazarus

love life.
