Ghostly Bonding by Kinetic
Since the living body persists
as strange accelerated crimson
what of its post-biology through ideas through ghostly bonding with itself as kinetic?
does it persist within its after-state via chewn reindeer?
or does it unearth itself via postmortem figment?
because kinetics reabsorb themselves
they remain trenchant
as certain owls
roaming the horizon as signs
