Year: 2008 This was my third published chapbook. Here is a sample poem from the collection: READYING THE RAG Come to think of it, we're not lost, said the dust, having returned home to the coffee table, cresting now on that morning's water rings, squatting on the broad banks of the Big Book of Rivers & Streams and in the (dust)bowl of hand- painted apples and pears. Tribes of other grime loitered in the air, unsure of where to come to rest, noticing the woman of the house with her cleaning rag and spray can of Pledge--O vision of the apocalypse! Then the phone rang, and she began to laugh in her mad, hysterical way, pure henchwoman, laughing and listening, readying the rag, waiting for all the dust to settle. --Originally appeared in Barnwood Magazine |
