molly the owl live streaming video:
this is quite possibly the most awesome thing i have seen all year. not to mention how adorable the owls are!
advisory from the owl box: “this is a live feed of a wild barn owl and family. owls are carnivores. they hunt, kill and consume small rodents and other small animals. this is nature and contains scenes of the cycle of life which may occur at any time without warning.”

“it all started in 1991, when a baby owl from a nest in her attic accidentally fell into the lower part of her house. the owl’s parents would no longer feed it, so she decided to adopt the owl and feed it raw chicken. since then, she has raised 51 baby owls. she does most of the nursing inside her home, but when the owls get big enough to start flying, she takes them out into the wild so they can learn to fly”

living in the earth-deposits of our history
today a backhoe divulged out of a crumbling flank of earth
one bottle amber perfect a hundred-year-old
cure for fever or melancholy a tonic
for living on this earth in the winters of this climate.

it seems she denied to the end
the source of the cataracts on her eyes
the cracked and suppurating skin of her finger-ends
till she could no longer hold a test-tube or a pencil
she died a famous woman denying
her wounds
denying
her wounds came from the same source as her power.
