The Girl

I've found one ghost to talk to me,

she's small like a child and she smiles,

she looks at me like I'm a mouse in an

experiment, ironically I've nicknamed

her Algernon,

Her eyes are not hazy like the others,

she looks directly at me when I talk,

she doesn't understand my words but

her mouth moves as if to imitate me,

I ask her so many questions,

it feels good to talk to someone again,

For just a moment we did communicate,

she stumbled in the snow and I caught

her hand to steady her, she smiled up

at me as if I was a champion, and for

just one moment we exchange thoughts,

I am so thankful for this girl,

she makes me realize

that I am still alive after all.
