Our sweet brother owl sits up on his tree
occasionally he lets out a sharp melody
All the notes, he lets out
are sturdy and stout
and quite loud, if you really ask me

The Owl listens closely
while that distinct howl
echoes through valleys that have no name
Nameless....
Same as the rest of mankind
"deny them love" posted on billboards
screamed out so that the whole galaxy can hear

All the while, he sits and he smiles

The Owl watches....patiently...

Hideous...
Ugly...
Aberrant...
Unsightly...
Distant...
Cretinous.­..
Unworthy...

My god...he whispers to himself as
He shuts his eyes in disbelief

Jetting out
The pores on his skin

RELEASE

AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH­HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH......................................

That's better.....

Yea....much better

Today is leaving promptly
meanwhile
another tomorrow arrives
as
I
write
this

RIGHT NOW
is all you have

Sit still

Listen

Carefully

to that voice that speaks

without words

Five forlorn fugitives stood tall
tall as trees
a fierce firing squad waited..
Their intent?
cutcutcutcutcut

They shot....

all five fell

all except one

he stood alone

eons passed, stars went supernova and yet

there he stood

wondering....

****

I forgot

What
I was
Going
To write

He cried out repeatedly

No one listened

He asked for help on numerous occasions

No one came

He leaped and fell

They mourned the "loss"

Under a trance
He begins to shimmy

He leaves no move unmade
No bead of sweat would he ever trade

For this
His bliss

His lifeblood

His purpose

God help who doesn't feel it

He left his apartment in the city

He found a beautiful oak tree
Deep in the forest
Miles from anything

Up on the very top
he build a treehouse

His friends & companion were all animals

And he lived happily ever after.....

Something quite magical is about to occur
I don't know many details,
but I'll tell you what I heard

Big mama is revolting!
She's had it up to here!
She's tired of humans and
their acting out of fear

Our end will be quick
So swift it will be
Will all humans gone
She'll fill up with glee

The tidal waves are coming...
I've been told to report
Accept your fate, fellow humans
Either you will or you won't

Let leafy leafs lay
All on and under everything.....

Goes well with fall...
Falling, I mean

I don't mean to leannnnnnnnnn

No

No

No

Gnome...
