They call it phantom pain.
When a limb misses it's owner,
when it stays even though it doesn't.
So is that why
I can barely feel
pads of fingers on my skin,
ghostly palms cupping my face,
nails tracing my lines,
and a leg curling over me?
Do I want to know
who these spirit touches belong to?
Phantom pain,
when something is gone,
but also isn't.
