The plausibility of ghosts

I’ve never seen a ghost
but it seems reasonable that
like at any busy airport
a few get left behind.

I feel bad for these wispy souls
stomping and smashing

yearning

but unable to pierce whatever curtain
separates us
from them.

When I was little
I used to sit very still
and will them to reach out to me

slam a door
knock over a vase
whisper

but all I ever heard
was the whir of the fridge.

I hear that sound now
an incessant hum
and a part of me wonders
if perhaps that was them whispering
all along.
