Owl by Joshua Katcher          SOLD

Owl

A tocsin from that delphic bird -
the shrill lexicon spills from a trap-jaw.
Pity those maimed critters who,
severed and crushed by a steely mandible closing,
when from out and above comes a wraithlike descent,
perish as sinews come unstitched,
and joints unhinged.
