talking about ghosts

are you still dreaming about ghosts she asked
i said no. have you been dreaming about ghosts?

i’ve been thinking about people in coats with big buckles
red coats that are faded and they are all praying in mud.
there are horses nearby sometimes.
she said everyone there is wearing blindfolds.

i said i thought we were talking about ghosts.
she said oh.
the sun came through the window
and you could feel it.
there were certain things about my bank account
that i didn't want to know.

i was making a face.
she said stop that.
