fly away ghosts

Fly away ghosts
and dreams
there is nothing to see here
but a person
physical body
flaws and scars
walking to the car,
washing dishes.
You do not comfort me
your arms are empty air
there is no smell in your hair
or heat in your smile.
Leave me be now
and fly off to wherever your world is
fly off and take your rainbow words and searing thoughts
your fields of knives
and soft pillow things
fly away
and leave me be.
so I don't burn the butter
so I can see the child in front of me asking for love
so I can see this moment again
and all the sweet things in it.
