Midnight query
By Nusaybah Williams
Oh, great owl—
who rests beyond
my window
your querying
a lullaby
filtering through my dreams
your careful eyes
watch
all night, through the pitch, the-
comings and goings
of all the Night’s children.
My feathered friend
as you soar through
the moonlit sky
Do you dream in the day,
just as I dream at night?
