Thankyou for including me in your marvellous project Sarah.
Our Spired Unicorn
is a place of worship.
A moveable feast beast.
Offer it fruits and flowers
at harvest, Easter and Christmas.
Baptise bairns, get married,
celebrate the dead in its presence.
Pray before its hooves and flanks,
comb its hair, feed it oats.
Don’t try to ride it, or steal its horn.
It is sacred and full of light.
Go where it goes, a disciple.
Some may say you believe in a myth.
Your faith keeps it alive. You
know it as a companion, a friend.
Though it has a life of its own
is nothing but itself.
behind our eyes we are all
mythical beasts to others
