[2021] Spiritwracked

 
Bodily harm done to solitude;
unruly, you fisted doors
caused commotions
in kitchen cupboards
cluttered the creaking attic floors  
 
And, what uttered, gutteral moans!
Melodramatic, ambiguous insights
concerning thy blood n bones
as if souls possessed  
a thing worth learning
from the corporeal
one rents to own
 
. . . other than perhaps you
possibly sharing DNA  
with Ann Coulter
 
( here, the poet truly
s  h u  d  d  e  r  e  d  
as he digressed )
 
but that would at least explain
why the outbursts lasted
fifteen minutes at best
 
Noisiest of spirit --- der Poltergeist!
Such an unwanted guest!
 
Just listen to the quiet . . .
 
restored upon the moors
after the cemetery burial
---your marrowing journals
recycled by Mother Nature's
fields of earth n worms
 
dispelling words of yours
that haunted the neighborhood
leaving my dwelling in a wrack
---in no uncertain terms
gone for good!
 
And
FINALLY, I can hear myself think again
as healing solitude is welcomed back
