Shouting at an Empty House - David B Prather - Bog

Sometimes what we miss is tangible: a trinket, a pet, a loved one. Sometimes we long for something less defined: a feeling, a moment, a sense of youth and wonderment. Shouting at an Empty House is an exploration of what little we have, how it goes unappreciated, and the losses we dwell upon. The speaker in these poems speaks of things that are taken from us, the knowledge that we can't get them back, and the reluctant acceptance that follows.
