TvTHE 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.

Slender Barn Owl surrounded by stars. She behind the beautiful Baltic Amber (has clouds in it! That's ia water steam).

An unique necklace that with be loved. I have added a small gold vermeil star on the side.

 

It is full of magic and has it's own soul.
