During the film Baraka

Is that place haunted?
the student asks as the camera pans
a stack of skulls,
and the low, stout femoral wall,
survivor’s attempts at easing the skattering
spirits scared out the bone before the blows.

No one’s proved ghosts;
not weighed, measured, catalogued -
Homo Mori? -
no migratory pattern,
no habitat.

Ghosts are only hallucination
Dream
Fragment
The voice of the dead “autonomous complex”:
Residing only in mind.

I must return the question:

Is that place haunted?
