Our words are feathers

that fly on our breath.

Let them go in a holy direction

Owl

I am private. Owl.

Owl

I’m private.

I read my gut
tea leaves
moon beams
bird bones.

Hide from you
underground
under rafters
under cliffs
under feathers.

Prowl at night
growl at fur
travel on the wind.

I’m private
owl.

Pattern #42 By My Side

By My Side

grooming, warmth, hearing,
peering in the dark: tasty
morsels shared ‘n learned!

Tongue Twister #30: Distance

pet to raptor
rapture met
in feathers

beak of raptor
no back door
escape

claws of raptor
not yet sharp-
cuddly

baby raptor
tiny squat
knows not what
a raptor does

yet.
