Biodegradable

one of those pull-from-the-roll bags
by the vegetables        thin    filmy
polymer gossamer
ghosting by

a better class of ectoplasm
for the 21st century medium
who is mistaken about the haunting
she is faking

he inhabits the curtain
blue as the sea he swam in
blue as his open eye
wide under the water

blue as the drowning
floating soul that rose        flew
much like the motion
of the bag in the wind

much like its slow shredding
fading             until all that is left
is the blue        this blue
blue
