Two Poems // Mike Ferguson
ghost
take
ghosts, they’re
hosts to their own
haunting,
wanting some
attention for the
retention of their
myth, as
if they
existed, each
twisted dumb
fake

succubus
this
succubus,
incredulous, asks
when her
men in their
tombs will house
wombs and the
coitus in death’s
somnus be as
fertile to
beguile for a
miss
