I AM THAT WOMAN

The Hawk Bedroom 2:52pm

I Am That Woman

standing poised

with My Weight on My Left Foot

My Left Hand

gracing My Belly

My Right Hand

holding My Black Book

against A Secure Right Hip

Right Leg and Foot turned tentatively back

contemplating

My Preparedness

I WAS THAT CHILD

The Hawk Bedroom 8:30am

I was That Child

exclaiming as I came through The Gate

of My Grandmother’s Jordan Bay Garden:

“Granmama — You have the most beautiful garden

in The Whole Wide World –”

exclaiming with feigned delight

because I knew

how much I could please Her
