A majestic owl,
bathed in the morning sun,
descends!
Sunday, May 10, 2020

As you pass through the corridor,
it turns and fixes its gaze on you—
staaare...

Its eyes meet those of the worshippers—
staaare...

It even locks eyes with children—
staaare...

staaare...
Often mistaken for a statue.

At 7 p.m., when no one was around,
it hopped down to the water fountain—
then vanished into the downpour.

Stay well.
