In the Living Room of the Dead

Now a coffin is your open house.
A realtor sign outside invites
flea market bargainers, mourners,
and house hunters who blow through
the living room like leaves
lifted by your fall.

–Robert S. King

    I’m seeing all kinds of estate sales in Lexington and this thought is exactly what I think each time. Well done!

    This piece is quite haunting, especially after my parents moved out of our house of twenty years a few months ago. I very much enjoyed it.
