Reassembly

sounds wake me, or I’m awake & sounds
bring up from the depths of mind
crowds of neurons, billions of connections
cohere into one idea: it might be an owl
advice: roll onto your back so both
ears can listen, a great horned owl
as it was last time — hoo hoo
hoo hoo hoo, hoo hoo
if one owl speaks, does another owl hear it?
undertow of marsh rats, voles & moles
whisper of wet reeds, rain-soaked earth
tunnel mazes, three times
the owl, or the owls, speak while I
asleep, awake & grateful, listen
