Owls, Hunters, Silent Ghosts - It Is The Killing Time ...

Even on numbing, frosty nights,
Through branches bare, and gnarled like
Fingers frozen in winter's icey grasp,
Bathed in beautiful white moonlight
Owls
Hunters
Silent ghosts
With tallons sharp and penetrating as winter's cold,
Swoop
To claim another soul in the freezing
Dead of night
It is the killing time ...
