Owl and Mouse

 

Photo © Jennifer Wagner

My eyes are

little lanterns

for you, owl.

 

Flutter by,

incandescent,

like a dream.

 

Swoop wild,

speak golden, giddy

enchantment—

 

be not

absent your

darker charms.

 

Stir that deep cello

in me—

that storm of music

 

reverberating

whenever

you brush by—

 

my pulse quick,

a mouse

to pounce—

 

swoop wild, swoop

to me,

your prey.
