"I believe that Beauty will save the world,"
Fyodor mumbles by empty water well
while gazing at cloudless sky of false hope
where the silver moon contemplates the glow
of timeless emptiness in human hearts,
then ducks when soldiers shoot guns at the ghost.

Two-headed princess in the forest glade,
holding clay pot with magnolia bloom,
smiles at the two-headed crow on its twig,
and asks if they remember where to go
to find the meteor that fell from the sky,
then laughs when soldiers escape from the ghost.

"We have one name to signify our soul,"
two-headed princess explains to Fyodor,
"so call us Kremena when you perceive
immortal soul that animates our hearts,
for one of us is Beauty of the mind,
and the other is Death who understands."

Holding hands, Fyodor and Kremena run
through pathless forest of the laughing ghost
to hide from soldiers with arrogant guns
sent by the tyrant in the golden tower
to kill all idiots, morons, and freaks,
cleansing vile mutants from the human race.

Surrounded by soldiers with guns of hate
in mountain meadow on shore of Star Lake,
Fyodor and Kremena grasp sticks and stones,
and he crouches to protect her from harm,
but she opens wide black wings of desire,
then rises upward with him in her arms.

Astonished the two-headed princess floats
with the idiot dangling in her arms,
the soldiers of the tyrant stare in shock
as she expands into huge gleam of light
shaped like enormous hummingbird of faith
from aurora beams of purple and green.

Falling to their knees on the mountain meadow,
the soldiers drop their guns and raise their arms,
awed by epiphany of holy truth
through revelation of the cosmic herald
embodied by the woman with two heads
who scatters apple seeds from generous hands.

Two-headed princess of Zarathia,
as symbol of Justice and Liberty,
beams spirit of courage in hearts of people
who rise with bold voice of democracy
to oppose aggressive greed of the tyrant,
inspired by Minerva with angel wings.

Orpheus meets Fyodor and Kremena at midnight on the shore where they climb on his boat and sign with relief as he ferries them safely to Elysium to escape the tyrant.
