#ghost table

[hmsfearlessbc-35]

Reminder of the fact that H.P. Lovecraft’s first published story, The Call of Cthulhu, recieved second billing to a ghost table.

A Turn On The Ghost Table

A spirit cat on a Maryland midnight

Floating through the door

A second guest of an unwelcoming sight

Ghostly coffin fright

A third sight, a charm, like someone we saw

Whose soul's here once more

To make a turn on the ghost table

- And to the hearth and the tableside lot set

Fortune's eggs lay still

And shell game spin and with someone's fate will get

Fifty-fifty bet

One spin, one egg, one pick on the bill

If not me, you will

It makes a turn on the ghost table

-

An Autumn chill served this eve of the choosing

Future life the goal

The spirit hand makes the prenuptial musing

And no perusing

Old life gone, renewed, betroth to that soul

And its flesh, now whole

Your spouse who turned on the ghost table
