Jeffree Michael #92 Owls see air

Through space
we move
split leveled at best just two
though birds inhabit at least three
how then do we know when others are here too

perhaps a feeling a sound
maybe a smell
sixth sense
chill or disturbance
before we eventually do see

sensory interactions
are hard to imagine
it's deeper than we think
maybe
a combination of these

coming around a corner
or before entering full view
something quite
special happens suddenly
you're watching me pee

shapes imperceivably redraw
when we enter or arrive
reformed momentarily like E = mc²
molecules and orbit realign
accommodating each new shift

like when an eclipse
I imagine is seen only by me
an agreement seems made with the universe
understood by witnessing
alone

how do creatures see us
before we see them
if not by feathering the silent ruffles
of unexpected forms
obscured from view

creeping up slowly
setting-off new reactions
molecules breeze
and buffer so slightly
currents bump

some may say
that's not special
happens every day
just cause and effect
you know...
