The Ghost

Simple words can't describe
the invisible.
Simple, soul-less words,
no.
to not see me
you must perfectly not understand
which is
easier
than you think.
I think.
I will not give you rhythm,
or music.
then you might
hear,
or remember.
the invisible
cannot be remembered
or thought of.
no.
definitely not.
so
I cannot give you meaning
or metaphor.
I wouldn't dare
touch
another.
the invisible
should not be felt
or known.
and so
you shall not.
But
be warned.
'Conceit
in weakest bodies
strongest works.'
do you understand?
of course
not.
after all,
I
am quite good at this.
