Wow! Great to see you back Al - Unicorn missed your talent but is so enriched by your unique quality.

I loved the dreamy quality of this poem - all the images I adore but could never write as eloquently as you. Also refreshing to have this moment of escapism amongst all the pessimism - although I could read this in several ways - as a relationship or the wider picture of all ending.
