Bird of Prey

 

It’s dark between the trees

There’s a chilling bite in the air

and it’s dark between the trees.

As dawn begins the owl settles in

he’ll sleep cozily, wrapped in feathers

and won’t mind the cold.

Daylight creatures awaken

the volume in the forest rises

yet it remains dark,

a lone woman walks from the woods

dragging behind her a shovel.

Exhausted, though relieved its over.

Reaching her bed she pulls

the down blanket over her,

thinking of the owl.
