When I was a girl,
I dreamed pink faery floss dreams
Now my world is ash
And cigarette smoke
Permeates the air

When I was a child
Unicorns danced on my bed;
Now they are replaced
By sweaty, sex-stained men
Who do not know the unicorns were ever there

When I was young and innocent
I ate rainbow-flavoured sno-cones
Now my belly if full of bitterness,
I’m pregnant with desire,
And I give birth to sadness…
Yet again.
