The Itch of Why

shy ghost creeps
     behind mind's eye
          s   t   a   l   k   i   n   g
               under the skin,
                    sharp and electric

a deep hum
     burns hot
          like pepper
               and stings
                    in the mind...

plumbs the d
                    e
                    p
                    t
                    h
                    s
     for hidden truth
          the answer? elusive.
               l o o k
                    to the ghost...the way
