JANUARY/FEBRUARY 2010
A Brief History of Ghost Hunting
phantoms in
the moss phantoms
in the train cars dressed
like porters with
black eye makeup
phantoms full of
saliva &
the cottoned virus
phantoms in the telegraph
ink
grinding
their teeth now
horses follow the
messenger girl into
the wooden woods
