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
