J.J. Campbell

ghosts in these fields

another lazy afternoon

where the mind 
wanders from endless 
love to sudden suicides

yet another tragedy 
on the highway

broken families litter 
the countryside

half want to elect a king
the other half wants to 
be free

there are ghosts in these 
fields

you can hear them cry 
when the wind blows 
calmly at night

they wanted to be free 
as well
