At night

When I’m neither asleep nor awake

I hear whispers

I feel his breath on my ear

His voice loud and clear

A man with a Belfast accent

Is looking for Linda

A spirit coming back from the dead

To haunt me

As I lie sweating in bed

Am I ill?

Is this all in my head?

All this confusion and dread

Commotion

Overheard conversations

Information overload and

Flashing in front of my eyes

Dark crystals for protection

Sage smudging and cleansing

I’m not sure of their intentions

Will they guide me and help

Will they torture and torment me forever?

Whatever they want,

I can live with the ghosts

The thing I want to ask most is…

Who the fuck is Linda?
