Staying Power
Eye don’t have to leave
My House
The House on The Hawk
I fought for in Court
unrepresented —
Eye don’t have to leave
Cape Sable Island
for idyllic privacy
on the ocean in Jordan Bay
Eye have the ocean
lots of it
here
Eye don’t have to listen
to friends, ex-friends
who say I should get
“a fresh start”
Eye am in My Fresh Start
here
where Eye have come into My Own
as an established artist
happy in my morning studio
dreaming of my love
in bed @ night
who alone holds the option
of uprooting me
