the mother ghosts

i am a dartboard
throw words at me
 hit the bullseye
too many times

i laugh at my reaction

you came from my blood
and now this

in an old apartment building
we are a movie haunted
descend the staircase

run from everything
i forgot to tell you
until now

time is useless
the instant
you lock every door
i have given you the key
to open
it is my fault

the mother ghosts
line up behind me 
we walk down steps

hearts skewered
to hold like candles

one day
you will  hold your heart
like this
in the dark
walk these
never-ending steps

you will be
a mother ghost too
