Part VIII

(Carrying on from Part VII, the mystery deepens
for Andy this time but Michelle opens up her story
a little which is covered in more depth in Ghost Story IV)


VIII

Contrasting the darkness

dallied into havoc

inside my head

I didn't know 
who she was anymore

or where we met
as Michelle said her name again

or how long we were married

what she liked

what she hated

scattered torches of feelings

stroking my face

flicked in mental tails

broken in chewed tapes

intoned with a forgotten regret

'I know' Michelle touched me

on my shoulder

'I've gone through it too'
