Ghostly Bonding by Kinetic

Since the living body persists
as strange accelerated crimson
what of its post-biology through ideas through ghostly bonding with itself as kinetic?

does it persist within its after-state via chewn reindeer?

or does it unearth itself via postmortem figment?

because kinetics reabsorb themselves
they remain trenchant
as certain owls
roaming the horizon as signs
