    A. The words "ghosts" and "pain reveal a deep sense of loss mingle with the sense of detachment.

    Explanation:

    The poem "What Lips My Lips Have Kissed" is written by Edna St. Vincent Millay. In this poem, she writes about her previous romantic interactions and lover she had spent time with and made intimate memories.

    She describes them as seasons which means that they come and go, with a sense of loss of what has passed but also detachment because it is nowhere to be seen again.
