Dreams of Ghosts and Ghosts of Dreams

By Brooklyn Plotner
​
She remembers the ghost--
listen devour embrace decay,
porcelain concrete dog do not die--
my naked smile is here which
surrounds the sacred fever liquid--
soon, spirit said, you walk beneath wind
wet champagne celebrates sex--
moss moon through quiet,
rest and relax blue lake--
kiss it home, bleed poetry and
breathe— the throbbing laugh of
a velvet universe.
