A haunted page, a ghost pen.A Poem by andrew mitchell
Where imagination
and landscape come together one could hear a eerie soundscape through the rustle of the pen. The page is haunted, an apparition of a word screams incessantly along a dead verse. There was a sense of peril created that I, given my topography, would haunt the page. Pushed by a pen I cannot see I approach the foot of the page where I can only skirt around the edges, there I lie waiting. Searching the lines between mortal and spiritual realms I find...I am the haunted word, a lonely word disconnected from the real world... I’ve entered the macabre of the supernatural. I wrestle with the pen before I skirt around the edges of the page once more. I see a verse run but it’s not my page. On a blank canvas I scream again incessantly along a dead verse waiting for the pen to return. © 2021 andrew mitchell |
