Unicorns & Turtles 

By Brianna Austin

I recite to myself, and then out loud, scattered thoughts while I search for a place to relax in quiet and comfortable slumber and await the end of the world. 

Summon me, in the shadow of longing that is your name, and I will lie down upon this Earth and howl at the moon, despite the lunar eclipse, leaving confusions to work themselves out in yet another form. 

Bring to me upon the words of madness a dove, and speak not of old tales of fancy and things that have never been. Stay true in the magic of such things, and speak freely of that which bled coldly on the crossroads of indecision, while angels’ repel the cries of harm and victory to whom the spoils go. 

For he who does right for rights sake and not the ego of men, has in him the strength of bone of brain, and it is he who walks amongst the unicorns and turtles. Let it be this day, even if the shadow casts me out in that moment when eternity is full, that I would come to know this, above all things.
