Rising Spirits

Rising sesquicentennial zealous ghosts
intellectually frenetic pedantic spirits
cold cryogenic visages projecting fear
safety nothing more than a besotted mask

Haunting paths having no known abscissa
one wanders aimlessly over earthen plots
like a ghastly duckling lost in a pond
the graveyard their last debit consignment

Subsequent haunting noises assault the senses
from silent whispers or a sharp cracking chug
to the plucking of ethereal ukelele strings
madness eavesdropping just a moment away

Forever pursuing an unattainable felicity
ragged forms with wild tangled hair echoing
stark contrast to the shampoo like cleanliness
of the granite markers that are their home

From jilted lovers to scorned saints
a savage murderer to the most vile liar
the restless seek the impasse of redemption
and will soon fade away to rise again
