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....
