Screech Owl

Under her dark wings
Fires rage again.

Screech owl:
Creative will of fire-wrath.
Burning the greenest of wood
I follow the serpent's path.

Prove up and then prove again,
Three steps to nothing,
Screech owl's grace
Is self's embrace,
Lonely screech owl
Reflects my face.

Owl and dragon:
Pillars of most high,
Hail empty place:
Nighttime prairie sky.

Existence conquers essence,
Existence is her palace:
Under her dark wings
Knell seven bell rings,
Fires rage again
Under her dark wings.

Screech owl:
I am predator of the night,
Beautiful anxiety:
I am the lightning strike.

Under her dark wings
Fires rage again.
