THE HAWK DECK 4:38pm

I feel like Anne Priest

dressed in My LL Bean Khaki Trousers

& Striped Linen Shirt

drinking A Gin & Tonic

on My Deck

with A Plate of Feta Cheese & Crackers

on The Wrought Iron Side Table

I feel Grown Up

THE HAWK DECK 3:30pm

I am waiting in The Fog

with audible surf

and the occasional call

from a sea bird

–

waiting for The World

to collapse

but I somehow doubt It will:

The World is like A Very Strong Mother–

She may lie down for a nap

but always fixes supper

She may live in Her Bathrobe

yet maintains Her Modesty

She cleans when She feels like it

and gets Her Children to clean up

after Themselves

–

She loves everybody in Her House

Her Home is Her Sanctuary

She Is Her Own World

THE HAWK BEDROOM 12:05pm

SILVER

I have awakened Today

with The Weight of Silver

on Me & in Me

–

I must lug My Self

out from under

My Silver Comforter

–

to pee in The Bathroom

–

to pull out My Chair

from under My West Desk Window

to write The Transmutation

of The Shower of Silver Lights

crashing down around Me

now pulling Me bodily down

into My 144 Pounds:

–

I am worth My Weight in Silver

I am 2304 Ounces of The New Age
