When the princess has been saved,
when the dragon has been slain,
when the universe has been knit
– shred by shard –
together once more,
what then?
Then my dear,
we do it all again.
Perhaps
there is a prince
in need of rescuing,
or a lonely dragon in want
of a friend,
maybe the universe
never needed fixing,
perhaps
happily ever after was never at
the end.
