My Daughter Eliza
has vacated Her Room
Her Lavender Room
Here On The Hawk —
Eye have laid a purple quilt
Over Her Naked Bed

for anyone else.

It’s as if
I’ve died already
& My Kids
have 2 go through My House
My Studio
& decide
what 2 do
w all My Work
hundreds of pieces —
“YOUR ART IS THE EXPRESSION OF YOUR FUCKING INSANITY”
as My Son
so expressly said 2 My Face

In the still of Today’s Perfect Weather,
here on Gully’s Deck —
He nestled down by The Steps
& I thought 2 photograph Him
for posterity —
butt of course as I got up
2 retrieve my phone from The Kitchen,
He got up,
& instead of nestling down again,
as I hoped,
He did His Beautiful Arabesque,
not just once
butt w His other leg as well,
& so I complimented Him:
“Oh, how Beautiful —
such A Beautiful Gully –“

This is the Year
of Our Profusion of Lupine
@ every curve, roadside
across The Way in My Neighborhood:
The Yard of Mrs. Perron —
a welcoming spread of purple stalks
interspersed w mauve & blue
& white (rare) —
@ the corner of My Drive
just 2 little pastel pink
(as Daisies are My Competitor)

Last night Eye met a Texan
Debutante
(at least She looked like One)
Who wore pearls
& likes camping —
She was w Her Daughter
Who ate only a salad
that I could see
while She asked Me
about my burger
measly
& a supposed giant mozza stick
which Eye had pictured
looking phallic
butt which arrived
as a flat brown square
not hot enough
& when I got up to pay
I had something stuck
between My 2 Front Teeth
so My Good-bye Smile
was stilted

She wore a Dress
the colour of Her Legs
Shapely Chiffon
w beige high heels —
The Dress wasn’t beige —
tinted pink — old-fashioned
Her Hair was dark
pulled back incidentally —
Eye watched Her Stride
repeatedly
from Her Reception Desk
2 The Mechanic’s Door
while I waited for My Car
in a school girl’s dress
She complimented
incidentally
as I paid my bill
exactly

& a gold-threaded top —
selected dangling earrings
& thickened golden chain
around M(eye) Neck —
Nobody saw It —

Whom I admire
for Her Taste

The Serenity of The Morning
broken only by My Close Encounter
w a neighbourhood Jay
landing on Gully’s Rail
2 bleat His double-tinted squawk
bobbing twice 2 His own rhythm
heralds My Quiet
amidst the daisies
& sunlit palm fronds
of low-lying fern
