Here is a poem from the book entitled "I Have Not Died In Months":

I have not died in months.
Now, when it gets dark
I go out and walk the neighbourhood,
ignoring the moon.

Do you remember last fall?
My heart bloomed into beauty.
Do you remember?
I put aside the dark papers of my mourning,
cleaned the house,
called my mother,
and sent a post card to a friend.

You came over for coffee
and I showed you what my longing looks like
on paper.
We both laughed out loud.

But now
mirrors betray me.
I don't recognize my own reflection.
I am like one who brings the rain with him.

I have not died in months.

I have been trying to erase myself
in many different ways,
but I have not been successful.

I have visited the used bookstore around the corner
looking for something that would hint at this dilemma.
But no one seems to know where to point me.
No one seems to know such a book, not even the local fortune teller.

So I am left now with my own devices.

I have been collecting evidence of my own existence.
Now I keep all the postcards I write
and re-read them out loud as though
they were written by somebody else.
