Fairytales

Storytellers know what scholars learn

That we in time, because of time, must burn

And to the womb of Death we must return.

Fairytales tell us what we can't forget;

That we are always children, to expect

The witches' woods of trauma and neglect.

In almost every fairytale we've ever heard

We children can't be seen, can't say a word,

And know our Fate must always be absurd.

Our task, then, is to be resurrected
