Your ghosts are probably out at some seaside bar,
comparing tall tales and scars and smoking those
big cigars, watching clouds cover the winter stars.
Something comes over me as I finger this faded
rosary, the wood so well-worn from worry that
it could be anyone (you or me!) on that cross.
You and I trade jests and stare at the sun as it
stakes its tent in the west to spend the night
spiralling just out of view. I look over at you,
and you look at me, and the night drifts past
us slowly.
