Listen To the Night, From Listen Series
Listen to the night--
screech between the stars;
moonbeams screaming,
taunt strings
on celestial lyres...
It's the owl,
playing for his meal
while dancing field mice
choose partners on a wheel...
Don't they know
that owl's are cunning;
faster in air
than field mice running?
Round and round they dance--
a shadow crosses the sky;
stars that where born
in a twirling glance
now gone with a careless eye....
