Last And Hopefully The Last Night Walk

By Jiaxin Li
Last-and-Hopefully-the-Last-Night-Walk (1)

Illustration by Albert Nikhla

I saw a ghost when I was seven

wandering aimlessly 

through scattered crowd

through withered grassland

through babbling brooks

through burning hearth

and humming fridge

drifting aimlessly

till it dissipated with the dying of night

Ghosts can be born at night and die in the dawn,

but I have to live these repeated days

My sorrow clings to me,

like an undead spirit,

for four thousand seven hundred and forty-eight days

I do not want to see the moon again

I just want to dissipate in the dawn.
