Literature Text

a cold damp dark night
mouse rustles in the rose canes
quiet owl listens

silent wings take flight
sudden death in the dark sky
small paws seek the thorns

hunters and their prey
life and death dancing the dance
of eternity

on a moonless fence
a hungry owl makes complaint
about clever mice

in the fence shadows
thorn girt mouse sniffs the night air
owls should fly away

the lonely fence waits
enough life and death drama
it longs for roses
