song of owls

There's two and two and two of you,

Flapping your hushed wings.
Beckoning, beckoning

Are my impassioned movements

Across the moonlit grass.

Glide your

Slick, sharp fingers through

My abdomen.

A nocturne composition played

By the steadiness of your silence -
Somehow, you find your way
To my

Bleeding home.

You are an invisible spell,

And not a soul recognizes your presence.

Strike your feathery elements

Against my window.

Become my wendigo. Sing

Your lullaby of aches and pains.
I drift into unfathomable nightmares;

I feel congested and strangled.

There is no

Room for a family in this bark home,

So you must remain alone,

Fight for life with fervor and dignity.
Raise me up.

I pull the latch from your cage,

Snow owl,

And you are set free.

-
What. ;-; it sounds like I'm casting a spell.
