when spirits decide

the planchette inscribed
ovals on the board

stay or go
we had asked

a reply of stay
led to a why

ovals came back
first spelled out
then drawn
over and over and over.

    This brought forth a wonderful memory of playing with a Ouija board as kids– and when asking if anyone was there, being deliciously scared out of our small minds when the doorbell rang.
