“The Three Fates
When You Go

Your bathmat dries
Snow drifts from the sky filling empty shoe prints
Memories are frayed lace
Love singes in August
Sugar hardens, Flour writhes with weevils
The mail that arrives through the door slot - circulars, postcards, pleas for your support - piles up, unforwardable.”

“Death is death any way you encounter it. Still, why did Elvis hasten his? Maybe Graceland, while appearing to be his sanctuary, wasn't. Maybe he should have run away from home. He had so much. But maybe the wealth and fame of "much" was, in fact, to "little." Or the wrong king of "much," as reflected in this tacky trademarked shrine to his life.”
