Specter

Excerpt from April Showers Always Bring Musical Flowers: NaPoWriMo 2015

Written by Talisha Harrison Copyright 2015

There’s a specter

Following me.

It misplaces my

Things at home,

Moves chairs from

Their pushed in status

At work, and has even

Followed me into the

Restroom.

It was there that it

Had the audacity to

Turn on one of the

Sink faucets,

Spooking me out

In the process.

Thankfully, I was

Closer to the door

And immediately

Made my escape.

There’s a specter

Following me.

It beckons me to

My death every

Time I’m driving,

Distracting me

To gaze off road

And look into a

World reminiscent of

Narina or K’un L’un…

Sometimes I want to go.
