Stairs to Nowhere

Written for:  Sunday Muse #230

Photography by Erkin Demir
I wear 
an invisible helmet
of stairs.  You cannot
see them when I walk
or stand still, yet
they weigh heavily
on my brain–

whirling, dizzying
reminders of all
the endless winding
paths I have taken
in search of
myself.

About purplepeninportland

I am a freelance poet, born and bred in Brooklyn, New York. I live with my husband, John, and two charming rescue dogs–Marion Miller and Murphy. We spent eight lovely years in Portland, OR, but are now back in New York. My goal is to create and share poetry with others who write, or simply enjoy reading poetry. I hope to touch a nerve in you, and feel your sparks as well.
