Linda Kong
You wake up holding a ghost. Somewhere,
your lover is fishing in a well of stars
for lungs filled with the air
you wake up holding. A ghost somewhere
is starving & pulls out his own hair
as twine. Clutching your lover’s memoir,
you wake up. Holding a ghost, somewhere,
your lover is fishing in a well of stars.
