She appeared as stream and gliding sun,
unaware that her legs had come undone.
‘Goodness gracious! woman get out, this
is my apartment!’ Her laughter, sang as
though a thousand bells.
“No bar of soap could clean that mouth
of yours! Go, get cherry peppers stuffed
with mozzarella and basil.” I gasp while
she goes through my satchel.
‘Enough!’ with anger bottled up inside I
managed a smile. ‘Now, that you’re here
tell me does it bother you often that you
have no feet?’ I observed as she flew out
the window, howling down the street.

themselves to unsuspecting bystanders and what to do about it’ by Gary Leon Hill.

A smart and interesting way, to end your prose poem, Sanaa. which I love. As some people /ghosts just hate to be reminded of their shortcomings. Hmm, wonder, if that was a bad pun, given how this poem ends.
