Your Ectoplasm


 
Sometimes your ectoplasm
spasms
and escapes

and drapes itself
across your lap.
It can’t go far –

at least while you’re alive –
but you will
find that when it’s out of you,

you can’t contrive
to take a nap. Ectoplasm
causes naps

which it then feeds on.
Godspeed, then:
may you quickly reunite!  

Chances are,
you will.
Neither

of you likes it
when you can’t nod
off. Too much damned light.
