Apparitions

sometimes when I turn around
I almost see them
just out of the corner of my eye
ghosts
of your past and mine
they show themselves
then retreat
but always return again
at times they creep in
like a fog
lying close to the ground
making it difficult to walk
growing in size and rising
eventually making it difficult to talk
as they choke us with memories
of our pasts
intending to haunt the present
and the future too
ghosts
