It is April 2023, National Poetry Month. I am recording myself reading one of my published/curated pieces of poetry each day for 30 days.

Reading # 15 of 30

This poem is titled Glass Coffin. There is a joke in my family that, when I die, I want to be disguised as a King so that, when I am found thousands of years from now, they will put me in a museum. That is one path to immortality, right? This poem is available to read online at The Write Launch.
