signs always warn you
about the dead end—funny how seldom
people read signs
*
a heroine addict,
still wishing
for a glass slipper
*
the end itself
was not dead,
only playing possum
*
hello
bright world
said the supernova
*
oh foolish woman
believing if she rewrites the sign
the road itself will change
*
an insurance policy
for enlightenment—
that’s one way to lose everything
*
scattered like jacks
all these happily ever afters
I thought I wanted
*
walking into the sunset
I forget
to stop walking
