GHOSTS, by MARION FRANCIS BROWN First Line: The wind is full of ghosts tonight Last Line: Before I sleep. 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. | Discover our Poem Explanations and Poet Analyses!Other Poems of Interest...IN THE EVENINGS by LUCILLE CLIFTON THE MOTHS: 1.
