The best short novel in poetry form ever! Tony Brewer has appeared in Bathtub Gin, decomP, Flying Island, and Poetry Midwest, and has work forthcoming in the anthology And Know This Place: Poetry of Indiana (Indiana Historical Society Press). His first book is The Great American Scapegoat (2006). He lives in Bloomington, Indiana. Haven't left, always leaving enough of themselves behind to impress the veil between us. Filled with hidden anger and a disquieting need for attention amid a constant human static only the most violent revenant can penetrate, we hear and ignore weak spirits who never make their presence known and so remain transparent. It's loneliness that catches and keeps our memories of a life, while ghosts only want to be here again, climbing back through the vault of our senses to arrive where we would rather be left alone. Their echoes sound in empty rooms we have just departed, reminding us we too are not long for this world and the next is just bearable upon release if one can withstand the solitude pushing a draft through the window sash and billowing a curtain into something vaguely familiar until we become see-through ourselves. |
