parliament of owls

I’m not honest anymore 
I have joined the ranks of the elite 
in the high-vaulted rafters of the abandoned church

we throw beer bottles at the pews and watch them shatter
and we chime laughter through the empty halls 
echoing further outward

in a misty valley somewhere far outside and below
an old man rushes home chased by a mocking-ghost
 
he'll sit in front of the television tomorrow morning
with chattering teeth, mumbling to himself
"I thought banshees were supposed to scream."
