A Reminder

I capture dictation
I am compelled to take
My hand, guided
Ghostly words from my pen to the page

Oh father, your secrets
Released in this communiqué
From ether, a reminder
I died with so much left to say

This I permit, but was not asked

Oh mother, I feel it
You tried to show the way!
From ether, a reminder
I died with so much left to say

Oh sister, I failed you
I couldn’t keep his hands away
From ether, a reminder
I died with so much left to say

Welcome stranger
Come on in
Use my body, guide my hand
Light your words on fire and I’ll
Chalk up one for justice done

Ghostly words from my pen to the page
