Owl Ghost

by

Curtains drawn
One sunny morn
A white shadow
On patio door

 

Since that night
No cry heard
Death knoll subdued
Prey is disturbed

 

Prophecy or protection
Wisdom or inflection
Your powder down
I cannot clean

 

A haunting call through the valleys of resentment

 

Forgive – forgive - forgive

Nighttime Owl
staring eyes
daylight appears
moon bird
removes itself
so does
the ghost.
