Barn Owl

There I found him
In the high farm valleys
Of southern Oregon

Where some of the world's
Best timothy is grown baled & stacked-

I found him
Near the irrigation boneyard
Foraging for 'lost' objects-

High inside a plywood box
The yardhands built for him

On the steel crossbeam
Of an abandoned hayshed

His mission quite obvious-
On residential rodent patrol-

One of the world's
Most otherworldly-
A tawny barn owl

Giving me that look
