Am I a Fool

[milo]

I've read this quite a few times on the NaPM thread, I enjoy it and find it interesting but am still getting stuck in the same spot.

This one was from the very first day of NaPM. It may not be ready for work shopping but I figured if I started others would feel more comfortable doing it. Feel free to offer any suggestions at all, everything is up for grabs here.

Am I a Fool

Am I a fool to see a ghost -
a girl that walks along the coast,
as lavender will ghost to grey. I love this line, it has stuck with me
and one will turn to none and say,
"am I a fool."

This morning will be spent like most - I like the change from dreamy to mundane.
the endless days of tea and toast
and living is the ghost of play
am I a fool?

Two to stew and one to roast - And here's where I'm stuck.
the spirit’s gone without the host
as night will always conquer day
as ghosts of voices fade away
you call me still so I just may.
Am I a fool?

"Two to stew and one to roast" together with the next line makes me think of the trinity, but I don't think that's it, "the spirit’s gone without the host" works on it's own. I think about stew being juicy and roast dry, I'm lost.

Thanks for posting it, I enjoyed the read again.

I'm back to working on loose ends from March, I probably won't get to April until July.

yah, I have deviated from my intent to avoid being preachy and even after changing it once it still isn't quite right. Would:

"One could stew but two will roast"

work any better?

Thanks for your comments.
