The Unity

Closed eyes unchain a melody

as she pours herself through gauze holes,

red nails splayed in prayer.

Three men ride Stockport's Unicorn

and don't sneer when she cracks the highest note.

They've heard the screams before.

Ooo a very atmospheric and evocative piece this...that line about the red nails is immensely pleasing to the eye/ear.
