The Owls Have It

"The Owls have it"

I whispered to the window

 

staring out for hours

my breath fogged up what little I could see

 

They fly in packs of three at night

Hollow sounds stay silent fluttering

 

what now may or might be razor sharp feathered velocity

sprayed black cracking their necks

 

The Owls have it and I want a piece of that pie

before I get too old and I have to worry about the dangers of old age

 

Clip my wings if it would delight you

because that's all I'm living for anymore

 

the sense that when you're happy

I follow suit regardless of taste
