photo 'The Ferruginous Pygmy-Owl' from glwildlife
who 'oo who 'oo whoo
who will go from the village
to ancestors meet
if you know then why
why do you ask Jumbie bird
why your mocking hoot
to awaken dread
in the throes of purple skies
is that why you ask
your echoes follow
golden rings in charcoal night
forest stalkers sleep
yet your eyes alight
piercing the seams of dreamers
stitched to folklore's sight
