May I Ask
to my ghosts
I pen this letter
in hopes of
reaching you
in the afterlife where you
rattle chains and shriek
I prefer
a more discreet style
in hauntings –
if you might
try breaths of cold air I would
be so grateful. Thanks.

Claudia McGill Writes Poetry, Did You Know That? 
A smile for my morning. (K)
It’s nice to think of being able to communicate with ghosts in this way, I felt, if we share the house or building surely we can work out a compromise!
I’m sure they are open to suggestion!
This poem made me chuckle. I love the idea of not trying to exorcise the ghosts but instead just entreating them to be better housemates. We have a running joke about having a ghost in the house who is, of course, responsible for all of the things none of the humans confess to. We are glad our ghost is just a bit messy and not a full-on poltergeist causing havoc and destruction.
I would like to live in a house with ghosts if we could be friends.
