Look she said to me the end
is similar to the beginning
when the first and last trees are just a few
and from these you try to conceive the forest.
You don’t know, or you forget, that Eugene
the hero is handsome because he wished to be
not because the heavenly
powers created him this way.
Standing straight up in the light-blue
he regretted complacently
that he violated his oath
he succumbed to his own beauty
and he hugged the squirrel.
The fairy tales, like love stories,
wander until they find the places
that best fits them
and Tom Thumb will seed
his destiny, hoping
to save himself from what
he left behind as his trace.
