i see ghosts gathered for the feast, look
i see my great great granddad, he’s a priest
jamaica sugar cane blackening his t~~th
he is nodding at my great granddad, who’s a thief
and i’m sat here in between, look
with my granny in her fancy jewels
saying “don’t forget you’re grammar schooled
don’t forget your dad was to the manor born”
she’s on a croquet lawn, very manicured
i turn
i see my great gramps’ feet are manacled
and my nana from my mother’s side is ducking cannonb~lls
ducking in to shattered doors and coming back with corpses
twisted and staggering and ashen forms
that she’s nursing in her front garden with hеr hands bl~~dy
cursing at the bombardment, and her knees muddy
cursing at thе bombs popping and the jagged beams
and there is uncle john cursing at the j~panese
babbling in ancient greek in a cold bath
with his dogs and his pipe and his old scars
what’s the matter with him?
it’s all the noise and the clamour
boys running out the jungle and he has to k!ll ’em
and every day he wakes aching from the shrapnel in him
till he is an asteroid in blackness that can’t forgive him
all my ancestors, broken up and strange
some are loving, some are woven up in hate
some are blood and liquor soaked, some are saints
some made their money off of slaves, some are n0ble as a spade
some are dirt~rich, look
look among ’em there are foremen, there are servants
there are poor p~wn brokers, there are merchants, look
there are sheep farmers, there are nurses
and all of them are with me, all are in me as a bone
so never think you know me ’cause you don’t
said all of them are in me, all are in me as a bone
so never think you know me, ’cause you don’t
i see ghosts
i see ghosts

i see ghosts
