EMG-Zine - Moon and Owl

The next big
question owl asks

is of herself
quivering
upon water.

The moon, looking down,
sees the moon
in owl's reflection.

Deep reflection:

this night
moon's image
lights owl's inner eye

from under the hungry roof
of water's house.

Owl could fly off,
she could lift
herself, open
wide wings;
I repeat,
owl could fly

away.

Moon just keeps.
