What happens to a forgotten fairy tale?
Does it lose the rhythm of its words
Like an actor forgets his lines?
Or disappear like the sun behind the moon during an eclipse
And vanish from view?
Do its pages shrivel up like a leaf consumed by fire?
Or fade sweetly and lose shape
Like a flower diminishes after it blooms
Maybe it just falls apart, sentence by sentence
Like a crumbling canyon wall
Or does it sit in the back of a library waiting for the next lonely bookworm?
