The Last Pages of Sleeping Beauty

When reading to children, one should also read the child.


 

THE LAST PAGES OF SLEEPING BEAUTY

 Look at them‑‑

the Prince just stumbles in

chasing a wild pig.

One dry kiss and

the Princess falls for him,

the first thing she sees.

Her father lays a banquet

and a few gold coins on

the groggy peasants.

 

Look at this kid,

my daughter, who only asked

if I would read the story,

not why I was made,

why I am her father,

how long will she love me.

Not caring what happens

between now and morning,

ear on my heart,

she sleeps and leaves me

holding the old story.
