Ghosts

We walked through the barren cold desert
Hand in hand, arms and waists.
We smiled toothily and laughed in grunts,
Giant and stout, all grace lost.

I looked ahead, following sun and sky.
You kept an eye on shadows crawling by.
The shadows grew on crumbs secretly dropped,
All the while, I gazed at the stars above.

Now the ghouls have come to life,
They talk and breathe like You and I.
Now I only have questions in my eyes,
As I see you walk away.

Hand in hand, arms and waists,
With cold dark shadows.
