An Old Man with Scissors
Greet the wraiths passing
with a slice of hair
or,
"My father was a strong man"
drift softly please,
into that cold night of
forgotten conversation.
"I've got this poem on my wall,
if you'd care to read it"
Along an Old Dirt Road
consigned to oblivion.

Excellent work, seriously. Great word/phrase choices. I like the old dirt road idea combined with ghosts and shadows....mysterious.
NOTE: Everything I write in the P,P&M section are intended to be songs, not poetry.
