and in a dream

of eternity
if you know
that you can never have it

They had never had a meeting this big before. Art knew because they had to pull extra chairs out of the storage closet to make seats. This made people nervous. Was it good news? Was it bad news? How could a meeting get so big without people knowing anything about it?
Poetaster
Poetry. 2009. Ekstatis Editions
This is the room my father died in
with a robotic bed
and vase full of exotic blooms
atop the multi-universe TV
dogging him with commercials
until the very end
This is the room
with a constant stream of visitors
both those he wants to see
and those whose book
he has already closed
but they keep returning
like adequate but inferior sequels
to amusing but mediocre stories
Bad Attitude
Fiction. 2008.
