I Do Not Know


 Perhaps angels 
speak to me,
I do not know.
Perhaps the voice
is my Father's
long thought to be
one of Brisbane's ghosts.
Perhaps it's 
the Lakota Chief
from my days
of ouijie boards
sitting cross-legged 
on a bed
with my friend Julie
saying, 
'Was that you? 
It wasn't me. 
Are you sure
you didn't 
move the cup?' 
I do not know.
Perhaps the voice 
is mine
trying out answers
to the whys 
that fill my head
in these days
of disquietude
I do not know ...
