228. Once Upon a Time

Once upon a time, those fairies existed:
in the perfect world, where she could run free
on the grass without regrets, without pause
and play under the moon,

When the moon didn't also mean
the howls of the wolves arose
and scared the fairies away

And the sky was no longer always blue
but filled with smog and blood
and not a fairy tale after all.
