They were wise<br>and wattled like small czars.<br>Yes. It's a good omen, <br>they said, and will bring us luck.<br>They stood on tiptoes to watch<br>Snow White wake up. She told them<br>about the mirror and the killer-queen<br>and they asked her to stay and keep house.<br>Beware of your stepmother, <br>they said.<br>Soon she will know you are here.<br>While we are away in the mines<br>during the day, you must not<br>open the door.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Looking glass upon the wall...<br>The mirror told<br>and so the queen dressed herself in rags<br>and went out like a peddler to trap Snow White.<br>She went across seven mountains.<br>She came to the dwarf house<br>and Snow White opened the door<br>and bought a bit of lacing.<br>The queen fastened it tightly<br>around her bodice, <br>as tight as an Ace bandage, <br>so tight that Snow White swooned.<br>She lay on the floor, a plucked daisy.<br>When the dwarfs came home they undid the lace<br>and she revived miraculously.<br>She was as full of life as soda pop.<br>Beware of your stepmother, <br>they said.<br>She will try once more.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">Looking glass upon the wall...<br>Once more the mirror told<br>and once more the queen dressed in rags<br>and once more Snow White opened the door.<br>This time she bought a poison comb, <br>a curved eight-inch scorpion, <br>and put it in her hair and swooned again.<br>The dwarfs returned and took out the comb<br>and she revived miraculously.<br>She opened her eyes as wide as Orphan Annie.<br>Beware, beware, they said, <br>but the mirror told, <br>the queen came, <br>Snow White, the dumb bunny, <br>opened the door<br>and she bit into a poison apple<br>and fell down for the final time.<br>When the dwarfs returned<br>they undid her bodice, <br>they looked for a comb, <br>but it did no good.<br>Though they washed her with wine<br>and rubbed her with butter<br>it was to no avail.<br>She lay as still as a gold piece.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">The seven dwarfs could not bring themselves<br>to bury her in the black ground<br>so they made a glass coffin<br>and set it upon the seventh mountain<br>so that all who passed by<br>could peek in upon her beauty.<br>A prince came one June day<br>and would not budge.<br>He stayed so long his hair turned green<br>and still he would not leave.<br>The dwarfs took pity upon him<br>and gave him the glass Snow White-<br>its doll's eyes shut forever-<br>to keep in his far-off castle.<br>As the prince's men carried the coffin<br>they stumbled and dropped it<br>and the chunk of apple flew out<br>of her throat and she woke up miraculously.</div><div style="margin:10px 0">And thus Snow White became the prince's bride.<br>The wicked queen was invited to the wedding feast<br>and when she arrived there were<br>red-hot iron shoes, <br>in the manner of red-hot roller skates, <br>clamped upon her feet.<br>First your toes will smoke<br>and then your heels will turn black<br>and you will fry upward like a frog, <br>she was told.<br>And so she danced until she was dead, <br>a subterranean figure, <br>her tongue flicking in and out<br>like a gas jet.<br>Meanwhile Snow White held court, <br>rolling her china-blue doll eyes open and shut<br>and sometimes referring to her mirror<br>as women do.</div><div style="margin:10px 0"><br /></a><br />poem by <a href="http://en.citatepedia.ro/by.php?a=Anne+Sexton">Anne Sexton</a><div class=q>
