/ Beast of the East recounts /
B: Behind seven mountain ranges and hundred towers there lived she, already well known to us, different than before back then.
A: Wait, what’s your deal?
B: I want you to listen to a story about a girl of milk and blood, her youth and ripening, that which you’ve experienced yourself. The battle with the shadow in the mirror, with lust that shatters the heart.
A: Why would I want to hear that again?
B: You might feel it differently this time. If you listen to that story until the end and let it resonate within you, you’ll hear; you’ll understand.
A: Well, perhaps. What’s it about again?
B: It’s about all the magic the world offers, about temptation, about the desperate desire for eternal beauty, losing of one’s strength but also the juiciness of a new day that flushes the cheeks.
A: Start already, tell me.
B: Very well but remember that everything you need to know is hidden within you.
White won’t last
It would feel cold
Like glass
You’ll stray in the reflection
But don’t be afraid
You’ll find
7 days in a week
7 precious metals
7 planets circling the universe
Sunday’s missing
Sweet fruit on Sunday
And the child fell asleep
Glass again
You’ll transform behind it
Won’t get lost again.
