They Come When You're Alone

It was still dark outside.  I was awakened this morning by a mechanical sound.
"What is that?"
Coming out of sleep.
Beeping beeping up down
Then came more out of the sleep
Sound organized itself into a familiar one
An owl?
Strange
In the background of this "so called"  owl,  I could hear a mechanical back and forth
Slowly back to sleep
The owl is purring.
