The woman sleeps with Death.
Her eyes closed;
her lips shut;
her breath silent;
her body...still.
Legend says she is cursed;
Some say,
she sleeps for a 100 years
Or a century
Or centuries upon centuries.
Something stirs.
Twin Dolphins jump.
"What is it?", they asked
It is a sign
of the Going of an End,
and a Coming of a Beginning.
Such is Death;
Such is Life.
Coming and Going
and Coming again.
In and Out
and In again.
Meeting each other,
Dancing together.
A Play throughout Universes.
Meanwhile...Hush!
Lady Moon shines a little
And the woman sleeps.
But not for long...
Not for long.
