That beak
And those big eyes
Peck at my brain
That owl
That creature
It claws at my eyes
From deep within
My pesky friend
That owl
He lives inside me
And I have to feed him
He wants knowledge
He thirst for wisdom
But I don’t always listen
Sometimes
I starve him
He rages against me
And takes flight
He darts around the mind
His dark cave
Those eyes shine bright in the darkness
A window
A light
The caged bird yearns for flight
My friend
The owl
He perches in my belly
And I drown him with booze
Swim now
Mr owl
Just sit still for a second or two
Let me rest
Let me be
A small boat
Against a raging sea
Me vs me
The owl and I
Together forever
Until the day that we die.
-C.H.
