Hallowe’en coming up, when ghosts, goblins and other strange
visions abound. Weird encounters occur at this time of year
and leave one pondering …
THE UNICORN
driving down the highway
last night
headlights blared towards me
their sudden shut-out
as they passed
behind my shoulder
caught a unicorn
a solid shadow
on the centre-line
poised, one leg raised
horn canted
it listened, watched
the tidal roar of traffic
and leapt my tail-lights
through the rear-view mirror
into night
