            changing the world

            children turn a map

            upside down

            ~Stephanie Zepherelli

            final ascent

            the inconvenience

            of falling flat

            ~Stephanie Zepherelli

bones bones bones

the creaking bones

I still call mine

how apropos

after cleaning the kitchen

in my slippers

I dream of the ocean

pilfering snacks
