Hero's Journey

The story ends
when everything is placed
as it was in the beginning.
When the hero trudges home
faithful dog at his side –
Uh, wait a minute. Not quite...

As stars shine bright over the village
and chatter rolls at the fest table
as if nothing happened.
If only you knew.
Not a word of thanks for all the trouble –
it's better that way.
The lies can wait.

What they don't tell you about stories
is that when it's all over
the heroes crawls into bed
sink to sleep like a stone.
They stay close together
curled to each other
and if they're lucky
they won't have any dreams.
