The Hawk Family Room 7:42pm
Hunter’s Attitude in His Computer Chair
is all about Diagonals
— How His Right Arm extends to His Mouse
How His Left Leg Crosses Right
How His Thick-haired Head leans
to His Left
Oh — He Straightens Up
when I announce I’m writing
about Him
The Hawk Corner Room 4:34pm
I just watched 9 Canada Geese
flying North
past My Picture Window —
I’m such a novice birdwatcher
I could only tell They were Geese
by Their Long Necks
(at least I had the sense to count Them)
The Hawk Corner Room 4:00pm
My Childhood Easter Egg
with Its Cellophane Window
Its Interior Hills of Sugar & Paper Bunnies
has opened out in My Adult View
through My Eastern Picture Window
to encompass Our Frosty Shoreline
7 Little Houses
& a School Bus Threading
Its way through Roadside Scrub Spruce
The Hawk Corner Room 9:38pm
I Am Not In The Yarmouth Psychiatric Unit
making cup after cup of tea
I Am In My Home
Trapped By Carpenters
Flooring Guys
& A Husband Who May Come Home
Early
