Long Day in a Cold Room

You know you could make them feel
At home, make them feel more real.
You know you could ask your ghosts,

What were you like when you lived?
What did you live for? What did
You like to eat? How did you

Want to live? How did you want
To end? Did you get your wish?
It’s not that ghosts will like this,

But ghosts are there to talk with,
Since most ghosts are ghosts of talk,
As are ghost tales, as is this.
