"You are brave", I told the Sleeping Beauty,
"to climb these steps into my home,
but I regret your man, the Kissing Prince, is gone."
"You don't understand what story I am from," she said,
"we both know who lives in this garden."
Still, all those following nights
she never knew to call me Beast or Swan.
