LOOKING FOR THE GHOST in the machine..found it! This PANTOUM is a thank you to Tess at Magpie Tales.
DEVIL IN THE DETAILS
You'll find the trick,
how he weaves himself
into the cracks,
the ruptures, the stigmata.
How he weaves himself.
I see the stain move.
The ruptures, the stigmata,
look away, look back.
I see the stain move
out of the corner of my eye.
Look away, look back,
turn inside out.
Out of the corner of my eye,
I see the color bleed away,
turn inside out,
changes my words.
I see the color bleed away.
He natters a lie into my ear,
changes my words,
fakes my pleasure.
He natters a lie into my ear,
into the cracks,
fakes my pleasure.
You'll find the trick.
A Pantoum is a poetic form, first appeared in the 15th century in Malaysia. The modern version is a poem of indefinite length and repetition.
