The structure of Ghost in the Land of Skeletons throws me
off, but what is being said does intrigue me. Phrases such as “flesh’s pretty
paint” and “a spectral game of hide and seek” make me smile through the image
it illustrates. I imagine the warm and cool tones within skin and the sense of
life it suggests. The speaker is fascinated by death yet scared. He enjoys
observing paranormal quirks; the thought of becoming a ghost puts him at ease,
eliminating the fear of dying. The ending hints he failed to acknowledge and
accept that he is already dead. The man that approached the speaker and asked,
“Do you ever feel like you’re a ghost?” mocks and laughs at the speaker’s
ignorance. The accompany artwork doesn't do much for the poem to me.
