letra de the unicorn - kevin max + service unicorn

?here’s? the unicorn
?here’s? the unicorn, leashed by a chain of gold to the pomegranate tree
so light, ?and chained to hold? so fierce a beast
delicate ?to cross and rest? on the maiden’s breast
it snapped the golden chain with one toss of its mane
?????
in captivity, ?flank, hooves and mane?
yet look again, his horns free
rising above the chain fence and tree
his ?overtakelessness?, ?round/wound? by a circle small
his amazing ?brace?
ringed by a round corral
pinion ?place?
by a fence of scarlet rail
fragile as a king’s crown
delicate ?when laid down?
the/her horn, hooves, and tail
as a b-tterfly net is lightly set
he could leap the corral of the few rows to his full white height
he could splinter the fencing line with three blows of his porcelain ?rosen? flight
if he chose, he could shatter his prison wall
to escape them all if he rose
if he chose

here’s a ??treaty of horror??
?it’s like? his sides still bleed from the huntsmen’s spears
yet he takes no heed of the blood-bent tears
on his milk-white hide
that spring unsealed
like flowers that rise from the velvet field in which he lies
here’s to the unicorn in captivity, in repose, forgotten, now the blows
when the huntsmen rose with their spears
dread sounds of the baying hounds
with their cry for blood
and the answering flood
?in it’s? veins for strife
of his rage for life
in hooves that plunged
in horns that lunged
forgotten the strife
now the need to k!ll has died like fire
and the need to love has replaced desire

forgotten now the pain of the wounds, the fence, and the chain
where he sits so still
where he waits thy will
quiet, the unicorn in contemplation stilled
with acceptance filled
quiet save for his horn
alive ?in? his horn
horizontally in captivity
perpendicular
free
