Better the owl

than finch, said she –



           So much more

           to be poetic

           Than historically honest.



As a memory, then

    formed shape

around a boy.



           She, of the lesser art, who

           In composite duality,

           With doubtful men



           type–Juxtaposed

                swift innocence

             (of all ‘haloed’)      

                with the cruel.



So much to see –the

hand, in hand heldbond

with commonality;

           (How life will creep

           its crawl inevitably.)  



All in, that our decrepitude will be.



But, for symbolic absentia,

Better the owl …and precious,

to bar knowledge-common form



That forty years from now,

We too may be, blind to lead

The blind –and damp of cheek.
