The Paper Owl

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
