Big Fish and Fairy Tales
|
I've known you all my life Rumpelstiltzkin too, (so what)? I've read the proverbs, tales, miracles: Death to life, masses of manna, son sacrifices, straw into gold, (Why not?), calmed seas. And there is still all this wine and I want water. Villagers, messengers, prophets seek your name, want to watch you dance 'round the flames, sing the agenda of tomorrow; which child you'll take. I sit on the shore, listen to the conch simulate the ocean, swear it is the echo of Jonah screaming to be free. |

If my son returns I will name him Jonah, ask what he learned from the Big Fish, read him Rumpelstiltzkin and I will no longer be torn in two. ©2000 Peggy Putnam Owen |
