Bella rises, looking at her reflection on a pool of water All is calm. Still, she musters the courage to confront Absalom She follows him along the railroad tracks A shadow on the desert horizon. Suddenly There is no one. Absalom’s vanished He was once inside her, he was her No more. Back to the railroad tracks Bella finds a sleeping Alex beside the broken guitar She tries to play a little, and cuts her finger She lets the blood fall on the sand and then buries it The cycle of reincarnation is broken They can finally be whomever they want to Gazing through the Mirror Deep into these eyes I see the image But who is inside? I see the image And who am I? And I wonder where these Queen’s Roads are gonna take me But I trust the Love of a Maiden And I wonder where these Queen’s Roads are gonna take me But I trust the Maiden Riding the desert (riding through Faerie) Absalom’s fading I am my dearest (riding through Faerie) I am my enemy! And I bury my heart under the red sand Yet I still feel it aching And I bury my heart under the red sand It’s the darkness within me Free from the Khrónos, free from the Aion We are the Kairós You and me together, you and me together Together as one Shhhsh. A hushed flutter of wings A little owl lands on Alex’s head Its grey eyes gaze mischievously into Bella’s Athena?
