The Eradication of Ghosts

a free verse poem

Christina Ward 🎄
Nov 8 · 2 min read

I see them in the mirror sometimes,
but with the layers of pounds
I think they can’t dig anymore,
greedy-clawed, hungry,
the bones now underground.

Flesh now, only flesh in my
reflection, older with less
shape. Less angst.
