First Line: The wind is full of ghosts tonight

Subject(s): Ghosts; Supernatural
The wind is full of ghosts tonight.
Let them carry your body far.
Let them bury you out of sight
Under a brooding star.
I can not weep for blood or bone.
Flesh grown cold or eyes that stare.
Let them tuck you under a stone.
Little, little I care.
For the wind is full of ghosts that talk,
And I a rendezvous must keep
With something more than dust and chalk
Before I sleep.
