By Pippa Phillips

shed skin—

I am everywhere

I’ve ever been

Pippa Phillips


*

 

a map 

on her bridal veil 

 

the flat earths 

that lay folded

in her trousseau

Pippa Phillips


*

 

new arms

for the venus de milo

she carves herself

back

into a slab of marble

Pippa Phillips


*


toasting clouds

on an open sun

we tell ghost stories

that end

happily ever after

Pippa Phillips
