ghost pains
it's philosophical, really,
the way the pain stays with you
even after it has faded
a sensation so hard to express
not so much a tingling or actual feeling
but the memory of a feeling
it is the way a terrible hurting
leaves its mark and somehow scars
tattooing its name on your body
or, rather, the memory of a body ravaged
taken to the brink of something profoundly other
beyond the conception of any mind
the hauntological implications
of the ghost pains creep
until a poltergeist it becomes
