Owls |
| The blue house at the corner of Twilight and State |
| Four storeys, soaring turrets, floors of wood parquet |
| And owls, so many owls, snowy, horned and screech |
| Thousands of owls, all flapping their wings |
| How I love the marble staircase, the claw-footed tubs |
| The room of rare orchids, the glass hall for my guns |
| Statues of pharaohs, 20 feet tall, crystal chandeliers, rare paintings of clowns |
| But the owls, so many owls, I’m never alone |
| The owls make this blue house a home |
| How peaceful it is to watch them soar |
| Through the palm-tree ballroom with its gold-paneled doors |
| And as I sit by the fire and slip off my boots |
| They perch on harpoons and the stuffed heads of moose |
| The apothecary closet is lined with shelves |
| But deeper than expected and slanted as well |
| How long have I been here searching for my pills |
| As the ceiling grows upward and the walls start to swell |
| Oh, the owls, the owls, with their feathers of silk |
| The owls they mock me and have stolen my pills |
| Oh the owls, the owls, with their shining green eyes |
| The owls will save me, if not today then tonight |
