The Dead Hill Of Owls Poem by Leslie Philibert

The Dead Hill Of Owls

Rating: 4.8


not just a white horse
more a fifth element
the hundredth stone in a dry stone wall

a neckless shout
over black-boned-broken
diggings hidden in gravel

You Mount of Lakshmi!
a gloom bird, flat-faced
teacher of graven land;

shoes on the table
the fat earth dripping
the owls drinking rain

as they sing for the ones
to be called, they watch
like a ring of stone.
