    “Though there are still a few lights here and there. A few steady flickers.”

    Wow does Scott Sickles have an incredible way with words. “Ghost Vacuum” is an achingly beautiful piece. Much—so much—can be said about its prose. Sickles’ Christopher has a fascinating brain that moves from noting how the lack of lights in North Korea at night appears as a “missing space” to him to musing about his lover’s jawline. Detail is one of this short piece’s many strong points. Respect, Mr. Sickles. You have a new fan.

    An elegy on loneliness, longing, regret and hope. I cried on the first reading, and on the second, too. Lovely! Highly recommended.
