Owlsong at aftersix

Chalk moon, chirping and cawing below

Choirly glimmer gowks shouting a slow tattoo

Stars like the frozen spray of a piss fountain

Glued to the blacksuited back of some enormous, tactless accountant

Branches swooning, hooting owls banshee crooning

Dirigible necks all directions, all sights in eyes yet unmoving

Feathers glowing, the half-light a pinion boon

Black caul aul night

Wet muck trowled and thrun about.
