Ghosts
Nothing worries more than bliss.
Nothing grates like grins
or hurts like glee.
Nothing troubles more than joy
Or glows like flames.
Best take bad to bed.
Bend bitter over and kiss its lovely nape.
Invite wicked to visit whenever it can
and pray that rough
Never turns smooth.
Because whatever else Heaven is
it’s dull.
Who wants to hum like harps do anyway
Forever --
No nothing is worse than fine.
