It's strange that she should linger at the tree-
but so defiant was that girl to bring
back it's owl's nest--I was shocked to see
Ace left alive inside a living thing
And now he won't stop howling at the place
where last she left an imprint on the eye.
It's getting dark so fast--keep quiet, Ace.
Let's shut the door and find a towel to dry
that wet fur.--Keep still.--Still gone.--Now what could keep
that girl from coming back here right away?
There's not a thing to do in slashing sleet!--
It started up so fast--Shut up, Ace.--Stay.
The radio will surely calm him down
or help me to at least drown out the sound.
-Mary Wyatt Matters
