Misanthrope
Donna Dallas
A clock ticks
somewhere in this old
rickety house
a ceiling fan turns
with rusty clanks
from age and use
the air moves as if a specter
swims the hallways
alone
in the box of a room
trapped
I become the mirror
the output of the house
glimpse the bones of myself
and come to find
I am the ghost
Donna
