Unbearable Visitation. Poem by Bieze Josphat

Unbearable visitation
By a ghostly apparition
With toe-less feet
Who rather stands than sit.

What brings you here!
Does he even hear?

He is pale as death
And still without breath
So dry without smell
His world is a dry spell.

What brings you here!
Does he even hear?

Why come here
And cast on us fear
We all must come there
They charge no coffin-fare.

What brings you here!
Does he even hear?

Are we to celebrate
This uncertain fate
Of the spirit doom
Or reappearance gloom?

What brings you here!
Does he even hear?

You left us young
Your story sung
To our curious ears
Our eyes flooding tears.

What brings you here?
Does he even hear?

We heard your scandal
Your act of suicidal
So, mum remarried
To share burden carried.

What brings you here!
Does he even hear?
