if there were ghosts in this

if there were ghosts in this...

if there were ghosts in this old house

or i should say because there are 

ghosts in this old house, ask: should i

hold my breath in certain doorways

to rooms where i know the dead were

waked and made of for their last

ever walk down the road of the earth

and finally, because it was done, 

and the sum of it, into it.
