SCATARIE

A mist sweeps in from Scatarie
It hangs among the tangled trees.

Floating through the bones of a vacant abide
Bones where not even a ghost could hide.

So I could see them everywhere
Hiding in the forest hair.

Gliding through the timber still standing
Posing on the upstairs landing.

Even the outhouse had a guest
I guess it must be a good place to rest.
