THE BARN OWL
In late summer
I feel the chill again
the first marauding
from the high plateau

I can sense the teeth in everything
and claws under rock and ti-tree
biting down

in the dry sand of the creekbed
I find the skeleton of a barn owl
and snap off its skull
with a twist of my thumb and forefinger

I string it
with a length of fishing-line
and for days
I wear it around my neck
dreaming at night
of the crack of lizard-bones
the death-cries of small marsupials

the hard beak
as I work
knocking against my chest

the great, absent eyes
as I sleep
watching from eucalpyts
or waiting in dark rafters.

I am so ecited to present you two beauties.
Here is listed the one with a genuine King’s Manassa Turquoise.

Totally handmade, every tiny detail, every bit made with love! Every owl I create has her own character and soul. 
Sleeping Barn Owl. A crescent moon on her wing.
Surrounded by stars. She cuddles the turquoise.
One of a kind.

18” sterling figaro chain.
