unicorns exist

​
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

​
M is for mother, lustrous and selfless in her love
O is for my origins, where I grew from the soil of the moon
O is for open, the gaping wound in my heart
N is for never shall the moon dim its light, appraisal in the night
L is for lovers, who intertwine under the rings of saturn, neglecting me
I is for illicit, i serve to illicit reaction, tidal waves and all
G is for gaping, much like the goldfish who stare blankly at me, wishing to break free
H is for hatred, a forever empty bowl
T is for together, as such all the elements of moonlight remain
celestial dreams

do you ever wonder how you got here?
no, not where your parents came from or where your great-great-great-great-great-great-grandparents came from
i am talking about the empty space that doesn’t contain space, or love, or dust
i wonder if i am alone in thinking this.

​
ancient folklore tells us that there is a lady on the moon.
her name is chang e, and she is waiting for us to figure out that she is not real.
​
she is a figment of romantic imagination contrived by humans,
who so desperately want a land that cannot have.
​
and that land is the moon,
the dry, cracked moon.
missing you

​
i am missing you
how the beads of sweat
used to roll and
roll
just
like
this
down
wards
down
wards
down

a
never
ending
reminder
that
you
are
alive
a minimalist's take on life/death

​
life is great,
life is bait.
death is black,
death is cracked.
life/death are just 2 polar opposites
and we are floating in between.
