HAUNTINGS--updated
Hauntings
Pedigree
Mysterious trinity
Father Mother
Child
And on to me
I live each generation
Vicariously
Familiar hauntings
This
Births
Marriages
Deaths
Immortality in official documents
A faceless list
But for those few
Who
Have passed through
This time and space
Looking for reasons
For my end
Searching for the souls
Of my beginnings
Hoping to see
Life
Everlasting
In
A Family Tree
Will I go as they
Into that night
Peacefully
Will I follow another’s light
Seed of my creation
Or
Will I need to seek alone
What they all now know
Familiar hauntings
They
Collective progeny I
