THE GHOST VOICE
Luis Cuauhtemoc Berriozabal
The ghost voice
told me
to quit my job
and get on a bus
to find my wife.
The ghost voice
gave me
the voice of a frog,
and insisted I
was really a prince.
The ghost voice
told me
to buy books on
witchcraft and to
cast magic spells.
The ghost voice
won’t leave.
It tells me it
will bury me and
sing at my wake.
