GHOST
GHOST OF HISTORY LIES DOWN BESDIE ME
The sign said: No Jews Dogs Negroes
Public bathrooms at the beach 1941
Toronto Rows of boys in classroom
London Ontario 1931 The one in the
back row Black hair blue eyes Sea of
blonde Runs & runs Some days outrun
Puts up dukes

You’ll be dead again tomorrow, but in dreams
you live. So I try taking you back into morning.
