Genesis
- anon
unicorns exist
- anon
​
unicorns were known to tread delicately
dropping like the snowflakes
that fell and danced
on her porch in the winter
but they were never real
they can’t be
they were too mysterious
and untouchable
the little girl watched such
revelations fall beyond her
behind her and below her
and didn’t notice
that a shiny coat of white
and a horny littered with love
was approaching her
behind her back

All our pride,
We are but the blink of a celestial eye."

So It Goes by Alfie Garland
(issue 32)
​
Life,
As we know it,
Ends.
​
As it always has.
​
At peace,
Or in terror,
Quickly.
​
An inevitability.
​
Death is unfortunate,
A by-product of life,
Well lived or wasted.
​
And so it goes.
​
Yet we should not fear,
The approaching dark,
Or letting go.
​
Hard as it may seem.
​
For it is our natural way,
To be at peace,
And rejoin the stars.
​
That wept as we left them.
