contents We analytically sum the leading bubble diagrams that contribute to the elastic scattering amplitude of a kink and a meson in the $ϕ^4$ double-well model. We find a single peak, corresponding to the unstable kink state in which the shape mode is excited twice. The peak has the usual Breit-Wigner form, and its imaginary part agrees with the shape mode decay rate found by Manton and Merabet.
