Unicorn

 

When I agreed to become a unicorn,

there were the following rules:

1. I will run toward all the sweet

blooms, close in, even

through thorns.

2. Flight is not the same

thing as hope 

or joy nesting,

briefly,

in my thoughts.

3. A needle is not a spear,

and I am not 

a warhorse.

A unicorn is a shadow of friendship

Mythic and missed.
