I can't read you, Jack
Without your voice bleeding through
Still my favorite ghost

    Everyone has a favorite ghost, an ethereal orb that serves as a beacon. Mine was always Dickinson, though my influences have differed throughout, I've always had an affinity for her work. Never give up the chase, you might find something interesting along the way, another fine senryu. Scholar
