Rebooting fairy tales with a 21st century heart is necessarily bloody business, though the end is still the same. Your story reminds me of one I posted long ago (to no comment) titled "The Children of Water" -- a hetero tale but it works in any combination of two -- http://blueoran.wordpress.com/2011/01/26/the-children-of-water/Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-45245233914916559882012-03-19T03:20:40.243-04:002012-03-19T03:20:40.243-04:00The Sea said,

I did that first, because the poem is harder to talk about, being the bone-cutting thing it is. Every metaphor in here is double-backed and leads deeper into the self, the inner sea, the cliffs we've wrecked on, the runes we've cast but can't read, and the final, sneakily rhymed lines in the end stanza tie the knot that both can strangle, and force out the sharpest, rightest pair of scissors. (High on life, I must be.)I hope that place you're in has another straitjacket somewhere.hedgewitchhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13090696134322515899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3107838361391025851.post-50297217605958697422012-03-18T12:10:19.743-04:002012-03-18T12:10:19.743-04:00Fabulous, Shay.
