the night they wed,
cinderella slits the prince’s throat.
she won’t trade her prison
for a pretty cage.
the beast conquers nations,
but beauty’s the one telling him how.
aurora wakes herself.
she’ll spend centuries guarding
a city that never stirs,
and she never questions
her duty to people long gone.
rapunzel burns the tower.
ariel rules the sea.
