Becoming a Ghost
<p>We’ve all been ghosts<br />
at one time or another,<br />
returning to places<br />
we once belonged.</p>
<p>Today, I became a phantom,<br />
haunting the halls<br />
of classrooms where I once told stories, taught math, read poems;<br />
a place where I spent more hours than home.<br />
<br />
At the school’s winter fair<br />
I passed parents and teachers leading activities<br />
in classrooms I ensouled,<br />
but now, being retired,<br />
were empty of my presence,<br />
liminal to my passing.</p>
