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
