For a certain Senator, who is always in my thoughts
"Dear Owl"
Dear Owl you have big eyes
feathers that stick out in all different directions you wake up
your panties are funny You hear
the sounds words make as they plead for life
that's all that remains of the language of language
O Owl among leaves
what is this forest of "letters," black light
of unintelligible suns I cannot see
who I am who you are
the difference between good and evil the end of human desire
how to tell the truth and why
Is this my life Are you in it
—Eugene Ostashevsky

That's awesome
I always like the symbolism of owls as well.

2. The person it makes me think of is an "owl"-like presence in the world. |

Seems that way to me, anyway.

What a mixture of real and metaphorical!
I like it!
Very strange, yet compelling...
Thank you!
