Haiku
By Kellie Rados
is this waking life?
if it is, something is off
the fireplace nods yes
across the threshold
palms and shins make the journey
the inner kingdom
Kellie started her career as an advertising account exec in NYC, but then decided that the visual arts were more her thing, so she went to design school. She is currently a production designer for a marketing communications agency and does freelance graphic design in her free time. She is extremely fond of cacti and West Coast oysters. www.kellierados.com
