White Owl
it's one red eye glowing
sometimes dim and sometimes bright
it does lazy circles
up and down skimming the ground
raking it with it's razor claws
the earth trembles at it's touch
shaking with the anticipated pain
the owl's eye glows in the darkness
sometimes bright sometimes dim
now higher now lower
touching on the hills and valleys
leaving trails of burnt earth behind
the earth shakes and moans out it's pain
as the white owl floats
and behind the owl maniacal laughter
a faceless demon in the dark
controlling the owl's movement
telling it where to land
when to fly again
making it's searing red eye
grow bright and then dim
smoke fills the world
as the white owl flies
the earth convulses in agony
destruction and torment
left in it's wake
and as the white owl flies
it's body shortens slowly
each time the eye glows bright
and the earth beneath it shudders
(the man puts out
the cigar
on her chest
and leaves her
to her pain
and weeping)
