HAUNT

Preserved in oils
From your skin
On the outside
Of the glass shower door:

A very detailed imprint of your face,
Visible only at a certain angle,
Smashed up against the glass
The way you used to do.

I tried to take a picture.
I tried to DIY dust for prints
With cocoa powder
(That was messy).

But like all ghosts,
You are elusive.
