disappeared fairytales

Disappeared Fairytales 

Leprechaun gold. your promise for the rest of our life

underwater fog***
suddenly I meet myself
as an octopus

one wrong sneeze
the gold in my pocket
now a Beaugregory

capturing a gnome while vanishing is easy. the art is to make him appear

never lie
during a storm
except the elves
