I am unapologetically in love
In love with faeries
And witches
And goblins
And smitches
And I love what I make up in my head
So I can mix them with unreal things made real
I fear for the people who do not love things
Or, worse
They love things in hiding
Afraid of love
And afraid of showing it
Afraid of their love for teddy-bears
Or songs
Or friends
Or the story-books hidden under shelves
Or shoved between magazines
