This poem by Paul Stiling uses the metaphor of 'ghosts in supermarkets' to represent people who have experienced profound loss and never fully recovered, illustrating how grief can manifest as a lingering presence in everyday spaces like grocery stores, where fluorescent lights 'buzz like prayers' and checkout beeps 'sound like the universe counting down.'

Ghosts in suoermarkets. #paranormalpoetry #darkpoetry #griefpoetry #spokenwordpoetryAdded:
There are ghosts in supermarkets. You see them at midnight staring too long at empty shelves. People who lost someone and never quite came back themselves. A woman crying quietly next to frozen peas. A man buying flowers for nobody alive. The fluorescent lights buzz like prayers and every checkout beep sounds like the universe counting down.
