Silent Mr. John

Dear John,

Naah! Never mind.

Your name is

All over the walls here.

Just wanted to get

Some things straight

With you.

Like knowing your

Preferred corner

For sulking

Unseen, unheard.

I promise

I’ll stay out of it.

Your night-time watch

And

Silent footfall

Are slightly discomforting.

When I’m sleeping,

I’m sleeping.

So

No watching me over

Or

Studying me through

Or

Sitting by my bed.

And

This thing with the door

Open, close, open;

Not done.

So please

Don’t swing it.

Rest,

Just stay in peace.

So long!

Goodnight John.

P.S. Can spirits write?

Or

Will you whisper your answer tonight?
