Notes About The Poem

“There's a lady who's sure all that glitters is gold,
And she's buying a stairway to heaven.”

To be a rock and not to roll.” - Led Zeppelin, “Stairway to Heaven” (1971)

Staircase

stairway
to heaven bound
has step-wise tiers
strewn with slippery slides
snaking down to land head first ~
rung hamstrung
