The Unicorn and the Sticky Asphalt Jungle

"The Unicorn and The Sticky Asphalt Jungle" Bedtime stories now walk through fog The Unicorn skips on lines of sticky Asphalt The father writes his play The mother seen as absent becomes deus ex machina she will be the only one to save the day Along The Road Bushfires burn the Heart A Child like a River runs along Butterflies, boilermaker, face mask immune low tolerance genetic inherited she is smart, she is strong Fast, and glistening and bright she shined through the open door a Xanadu Zephyr who went looking for the missing stars at night Distance drawn by strangers Written out of the story by defamers in the Sticky Jungle where the asphalt on fire prickles soft heels bitten by blood feet breathe and run through the glowing screen's broken glass and rusty nails crucified is the Invisible in the muck what isn't seen - the true crime glorified; Is blood thicker than water? One will see, The Story is in The Victory - not the fails; Hardened souls are cast iron steel made Folding their cards they stand strong Machine gun shooting with their silver bullets the Devil all along no deals are done silence speaks volumes The Daughter Stands strong Along The Road Bushfires burn the Heart A Child like a River runs along Fast, and glistening and bright the door was open she went looking for the missing stars at night Distance drawn by strangers Written by defamers in the Sticky Jungle where the asphalt prickles soft heels Marshmallow soft and of no real substance Nutrition in stories fed through the reals to the child all in fairness love in spoonfuls of honey she feels her feels the attention is in the details A daughter loves a daughter she feels her feels Valued medicine swallowed with LOVE in time Saved Delivered through Nursery Rhyme (LadyLabyrinth/2020) gvlm “Life Itself” / Glass Animals (PART 1) https://youtu.be/yd9p4n5hLEg “Youth” / Glass Animals (PART 2) https://youtu.be/_ZdsmLgCVdU “A Prayer for The Wild at Heart A prayer for the wild at heart Kept in cages I know how you long To run wild and free To feel your blood pumping To hear your heart beating faster Yet you can’t For you are locked inside a prison One that you will never escape I can hear your howls of pain And your growls of frustration Pacing back and forth Clawing at the bars Tearing at your skin Begging to be set free Your eyes are wild of full hate Your face bears no smile Only a snarl of anger Blood drips from your hands Blood from the people Who didn’t understand Your fearful whimpers fill the air As you look to the full moon And let out a mournful howl Your voice gets louder As I and the others join in We let our pleads fill the night As we sit in our cold cages Praying someone will hear (Tennessee Williams, Stairs to the Roof) 1.
