Based on Tia Laurent’s poem, “Cinderella”

The carriage lamps
Are steady;
They vamp
Till ready.

It’s light out,
But wait:
It’s our brights,
Which white-out

The night,
Backspacing
Over the world
Without erasing

Us single girls.
Pumpkin, pumpkin,
Write and rewrite
Me some golden

Slippers just my type:
Turn the cinders where I hide
Into pages where I ride—
Turn the ashes which I sweep

Into castles where I sleep.
