You chose

  legs over fishtail

  land over sea

  prince over family

  Muteness for love

  Bad choices

  Turn back

  Too late

  Destined for betrayal

  Knives pierce human feet

  The price of return

  more painful still

  The weeping willow predicts your fate

  And even now

  sitting on your fragile rock

  you seem unsure

  Still subject to unkind cuts

  Beheaded

  Decapitated

  Disneyfied

  Shipped to Shanghai.

  So small, they say,

  Disappointed

  We expected something more

  Substantial.

  Copenhagen 2009
