I behind her watching in the cold room she unzips my gift blue bagged and pink skinned pungently I exhale she inhales turning away from my half-closed eyes closing her eyes stinging from the stench of my body given for her for the blade of her scalpel to slice she cuts along my spine and I trace ghostly fingers in a line down her shivering back to say there that is the place where what you see beneath in me is you.

An Anatomy Lab Haunting
I behind her watching in the cold room she unzips my gift blue bagged and pink skinned pungently I exhale she inhales turning away from my half-closed eyes closing her eyes stinging from the stench of my body given for her for the blade of her scalpel to slice she cuts along my spine and I trace ghostly fingers in a line down her shivering back to say there that is the place where what you see beneath in me is you.
From my anatomy lab experience in med school-the ghost who taught me what it means to be human underneath the surface.
