The Unicorn at the Crucifixion

The painter placed a unicorn beside
      the cross of the Anointed.
            The unicorn's
              horn pointed
          to the crown of thorns.

Could that be the spear that pierced Christ's side?
      It has the audacity,
            but has too much
              purity
          to ever do such.

No, it is there to give Christ's soul a ride
      to death's domain, the other-
            world, sheol,
              another
          realm as dark as coal,

the grave, hades, there three days to abide.
      Though he's made iniquity,
             he does not sin.
              Purity
          will reach hell, go in.
