GROUNDED OWLS

Tonight I am in need

of an empty dusk

a sunset void of stars

a sky so dark

that possums cower in their dens

and owls refuse to fly. 

If it's true, as I heard today,

that sounds trigger 

the imagination, I'm still not

worried; I won't be scared.

you can leave me

alone with the night 

& allow me 

to crawl and scrape my way

toward morning. I promise

that you won't need 

to come find me.  

I'll find my own way out.
