Owl Ghost
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.
