I love the way you married

my hard shell has been softened like the fires that break open hard seeds

to the acorn seeds earlier.

As I imagine them, I start to fantasise about possibilities - would she agree for them to adopt. What would it be like for the kid, having a mother who is a ghost...and so on.

That is the beauty of good writing and an original imagination. As it leads the writer to new worlds, it opens those worlds also for the readers, creating even more possibilities.
