hansel and gretel are holding hands deep in the forest. they are lost. this is their own story. the two have fallen in love
and so
after a long quietness amidst the creatures of the night
they begin to kiss. traveling like heat through each other's bodies
they pass through centuries of insecurity and into a rhythm where they are not afraid. mamma has led these children into the wild unknown for reasons known
with father's help
of course
they tried very hard to get back home
but
of course
they could not. and so
they find themselves through the darkness
through the sadness
making love
making peace
making music. they find themselves
through the chaos
making sense. this is what they want. this is who they are. these are the things they need. when the sun goes down
and i'm next to you
oh
