Figment (Day 935)

She said you don’t belong 
here   this city 
is not yours   but you 
are not 
a ghost
a figment 
of her imagination
how do you argue with 
someone who cannot see 
you   
who are so tired 
of disappearing   
of fading 
into welcome back 
ground    into weedy sidewalk 
cracks & garden gates
she threw you down   
not waiting for an answer   
but only you 
decide 
if she can call you out
