Unicorn


I shouldn’t have done it.

I’ve always shunned 

the spotlight,

always feared it.

Unlike the horses and dogs 

who play the game, 

perform,

do what’s expected

by their human providers, 

by their audience.

I’ve always been afraid 

of being seen

onstage

just in case

I was taken short

and golden notes

fell from my arse

and made 

rainbows

brighter 

than the spotlight,

upsetting

the lighting engineers.

I think we’re all the same,

we unicorns,

shy creatures.

That’s why we’ve 

survived,

hiding

in dreams.
