He seems friendly
enough, this presence
of the past, shifting
languorously as if
drugged by sun
light shining in his eyes
after a thundering rain
In truth his voice
is seldom called
upon—an apparition
furniturial, fixed
impermanently in
corners and along
walls
His dance contains
unpredictable
undertones—the hours
move around him
as his buddha smile
glimmers knowingly
in the dark
Phil Gomm’s Prompt #3 at The Kick About is Dance of the Happy Shades. My Rorschach ancestor mirrors himself and transforms in both vertical and horizontal directions. It was fun to add a little nonsensical creation to my days.

This (painting) reminds me so much of a John Bauer troll!

He seems like quite a happy ghost–if one is going to be haunted, then it’s good to have a ghost like this one. 😀
I agree–the painting does look like a troll.

Thanks. Merril. This was a fun prompt. It got me outside the spiral of the current world.
