The Paper Owl
Austin Collins, Rachel Irvin
Cover my head to block the clout
The fusillade breaks my skin
Languidly watch my dreams seep out
Mounding to form patterns
All these seams
Where do they begin
'Round and around my eyes
All these seams
Where do they begin
'Round and 'round my eyes contour patterns
Contour patterns
Flickering light pricks like a pin
The current to start my heart
A phoenix emerges from deep within
Fire rushes from all of my patterns
Rising from the dolor
Silhouette in the sun
Brandish my wings like a sword
Blades hum as I cut through the air
All these seams
Where do they begin
'Round and around my eyes
All these seams
Where do they begin
'Round and 'round my eyes contour patterns
Contour patterns
'Round and 'round my eyes contour patterns
