An Owl as a cowl - offered - refused - What pose could be Struck with Claws such as those? a Cowl such as that - unesteemed at Home - Vestment of Feather, hollow of Bone.
There's no prize for devotion - no praise for what's Feral, not a glad hand extended for one who Retreats. the World is an Empty, cluttered old Thing- that wants no critique from a Voice or a Wing.
