Darkly comic and quirky, and brilliantly structured, this poem presents an inventive response to the competition prompt, with the ‘presence’ interpreted as being that of a ghost. The poet shows great command of language, with the build-up given edge by a clever use of italics in the final line: ‘I’m not there/But you can feel me/I am there’.
You can’t see me
I’m not there
You can’t touch me
I’m not there
You can’t hear me
I’m not there
But you can feel me
I am there
