Those That Know by Wanda Morrow Clevenger

an evening out
in the upstairs
Loomis House
was a first

Psychic Medium
Rose Fulhorst paced
the purported
haunted hotel’s
floral carpet
behind my chair

answer yes or no
she instructed
or say maybe

I found her
cognitions
notably correct

though we never
had a pet dog
best I know

though I entertain
my own take on
finessing finis

though I did get
an epic headache
and nausea
the next day

that feeling
those that know
know
