Noted In Passing After Halloween

Did you know,
my dear, that I
am a realist?  
I have no
beliefs, only work
from what I know
is real —

so when you seem so
ghostly, slipping around
as much through me as 
near me,

I find it hard to hold on.
I know I should just
stepm back and believe
but instead

I’m floating here staggered
by the possibility
that I am the ghost
in our love, and therefore
unworthy of myself.
