Unicorns

Por Christian Garavito

A young man finally comes of age after a journey at once holy and intensely profane. These (literally) pointless verses are a scattered confession of the overwhelming feelings of an angel waiting to be a demon wanting to be an angel again.The quest begins with a bitter heartbreak but then precipitates into a photograph cascade. Recollections of abuse, debauchery, tenderness, envy, ecstatic pleasure and unbearable yet ordinary pain, all vivid and fleeting, like the evaporating fumes of a hit of poppers.This boy is ultimately liberated into the creature that he is, both proud and bewildered by his own nature. A nature all too familiar to the altar boys of Sodom and sin.

Thank you for your greatness.

About

this

book

About what is written in these pages

Not everything is true

Not everything is false

There are some things I felt in a moment

And some others that I never felt at all

And a few more

I’m still carrying around.

From my mother tongue

I wrote this book in English

because I have something to hide.

My heart speaks a different language than my mind.

So I tried to make it universal

Not as personal as Spanish

Even if I don’t relate to it that much.

In the end I don’t know what language I speak.

I am a fucking unicorn

I am a magical being that never existed

I am strange

And I’ve always had a dick in my head

Figuratively and relatively speaking

I guess in the end

all of this

is about dick

And ass

And sex

And being gay.

Honey,

Now that you are gone, I know I needed you the most

But in the long term you are just bad health

And this Winnie the Pooh relationship will only destroy us

Go and be the bee you are meant to be

Thanks for the sweet treats

They kept me warm in the winter

But summer is here and I’d rather be drinking iced tea.

The devil is out tonight

The devil is out tonight

The devil is a metaphor for what I am capable of

The devil lives tonight

Everybody’s screaming outside

A woman lost her dog and she calls it by its name

She won’t
