So That Others Can Exist

Maybe, once more, I'll believe or hope.
For example: this night is endless, although
the muscular owl wrestles with his frantic prey,
one of them will live. That which kills you
doesn't know redemption; the dead are suddenly
innocent. Returning to his steady bough,
the massive bird preens and strokes without
a thought of sadness or contrition.
