Thirteen’s an odd<br />
number, an unlucky one.
The thirteenth sister, the<br />
uninvited one …
My spell sent her to sleep for a hundred<br />
years.
They hailed the prince for rescuing her …
— Entangling briars,<br />
eternal summer —
… and blamed my curse on a breach of<br />
etiquette.
Tell me, why would I curse such an innocent?
— Finger pricked on a<br />
spindle and red blood<br />
spent? —
It was a christening gift, that prince’s kiss.
