|  | POEM FOR MY FATHER TWO
I look at your picture hanging
On the wall
Think back to the conversation
We never had
The way you sat there
And stared out the window
The last year before your death
No amount of drinking
Can erase the memory
As I toss one drink after another
Past soft liver tissue
Trying to avoid the vacant
Look in your eyes
Pieces of my brain stapled
To the lamp shade
| | UNTITLED
I have sat one too many evenings watching old me and women eat their last meal One eye on the dessert the other on the obituary column
