(Cover Art From My Collection Angel Poison)

Why are angels overcome with grief?

                   Looking at our world and the next, Rilke said 
                   that angels could not tell the difference 
                   between the living and the dead.  
                   In  the twenty-first century, this distinction 
                   has become more blurred than ever, 
                   with more and more people stumbling
                   in darkness. Consciousness helps. That is why
                   I have written such poems as those in this 
                   collection.
