On New Years Day Unicorns Fly
From Heart Strong, Selected Poems 2000-2012
by Nina Serrano
The year ends in pajamas
and nibbles of holiday leftovers
and tying up loose ends
tossing out clutter that gets in the way
of winged unicorns preparing for flight
and the soaring journey of the herd
Lured by the glittering cosmos above
they take a galloping start
leaving footprints in the dust of dawn
and marks in time.
