I have only ever seen you in the day so I

 

I have only ever

Seen you in the day 

So I wonder,

What do you do when the night 

Stretches and lingers.

Do you wander through its aisles

Past corridors of star and dust

Like you do through the library 

And up and down the corridors And stairs?

And when silence shadows in your home

Do you look straight into the ghosts

With your november

Eyes and look blankly

At their faces. As you do when you pass by friends

And acquaintances. Alone, like you do in school?

Or do you laugh.In a tone that you save for ghosts 

Do you only smile, like you do when you see me

In the dark shadows of the day
