Don’t spin your orbs when you read
this confession; my private obsession-
an overwhelming curiosity
about those shadowy somethings
that go bump in the wee hours
ever since I found her that day.
You see, she left me no hint
of what she found past the gates.
.
Ghost Adventures, Ghost Hunters, Ghost
Lab, Paranormal State, The Dead Files,
I Survived – Beyond and Back…
.
I watch them all, over and over, avid
for more; scanning the screen for any
anomaly that might appear, hot spots
on the infrared, mel meters that flash
for no good reason, listen for the disembodied
voices of the dead.
.
This odd addiction makes me wonder
if I fried a few thousand neurons
from the stun of her loss,
or if it’s just my abysssmal new companion
named grief; or perhaps it’s the constant
ache of missing her and having to endure
those silent, invisible cold spots
and dark shadows that streak past,
always wondering if it’s her.

Ah, the ghosties are afoot, all over the TV. A nicely done commentary, and I especially like the rhythm of the opening, confession==> obsession!
Spooky! I like it.
