A Poem by Ken L. Jones

Lines Written in the Dark in the Haunted Mansion

New Orleans ghost mansion cobwebbed with
Blood rust shivering suits of armor
Stuttering of past lives
Lonesome Jack Kerouac flits across
The gas lit hall and fires up a butt
Scribbles something in
A penny notebook and then vanishes.
