HOW TO BUILD AN OWL | KATHLEEN LYNCH

Aug 27, 2011 00:20

1. Decide you must.

2. Develop deep respect
    for feather, bone, claw.

3. Place your trembling thumb
    where the heart will be:
    for one hundred hours watch
    so you will know
    where to put the first feather.

4. Stay awake forever. 
    When the bird takes shape
    gently pry open its beak
    and whisper into it: mouse.

5. Let it go.
