Night Silence
In half light and half dark
Of the stars in passionate night
An owl is very active
In its pursuit of some flood
Awaits for moon’s departure
In dark silence is best enjoyed
The dance of blood
In half light and half dark
Under the fire-fly’s blue spark
The scarlet poems of high and low arc
Intoxication stark
The owl’s moments embark
Lovely lurk
In half light and half dark
Inside the head
A slender crescent moon
Stirs a starry spoon
In the fervent cup
The owl lifts it up
Underneath
The evergreen tale of life and death
Of starry depth
