A sinister little boy
dancing around
gravestones asks
visitors to stay and
play with him.
A woman in white
hovers above
the gravestones
but says nothing.
A man in dark
19th century
clothes named
Ephraim with dark
sockets in place
of eyes, said to
yell at women
and scare them
away.
What to make
of these ghosts
I cannot say.
But many claim
to have seen them.
And maybe these
spirits are real,
but the bigger
question is if
they are real,
why are they
still on earth
and not
elsewhere
in the afterlife?
Bob Boyd
