(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....
