Aurora wakes at 6:30 a.m.— not to birdsong, but to the wail of toddlers and the ache in her knees from sleeping on the side that keeps her back from seizing. Belle flips waffles in a castle-shaped toaster bought on clearance, while her Prince snores— still between jobs, still “figuring it out,” still dreaming he’s the Beast she could learn to love again. Cinderella works in HR now. She...

Knew just what she wanted to say, that’s what she steadfastly believed; Jazzed to write this poet at play, clever words with rhythm are weaved; No longer with that spirit sleeved ghost whispers change the narrative; Prose brighter than you had conceived free from the real world’s sedative....
