We are the ghosts of needlessly deleted words,
denied even the blanket of liquid paper
backspaced over, swallowed by deletion, only to be replaced by doppelgangers,
identical in every way,
yet imposters,
depleted of the original thrust that spawned us,
that spark of inspiration—
We are the ghosts of needlessly deleted words,
and we will keep you up all night
with our chanting,
our whispering,
insensate,
incomplete,
and unwilling to forget
You, who made us
Who delivered us into this cold world—
You should have seen the light—
You should have left us
as we were

haunting
