Yesteryears Ghost

Walking around the town where I had grown up and left 40 years ago,

I found myself outside the flat where mother and I lived in on the second floor.

When I came home late I used to throw a pebble up to the window,

for her to come down and open the door, not that I didn´t have key it was just

the hallway was dark and once I had seen a ghost perhaps not seen, but had

felt its cold breaths on my neck.... Eventually mother moved to a nursing and

when everything was cleared out- not that there was much to clear- I was

the kitchen and listened to silence, when the door opened and I saw a ghost,

perhaps I didn´t actually see but I felt its cold breaths, and I remembered

a popular song at the time: “They are coming to take you away ah ha.”
