The Hawk Queen Bed 2:22pm

In Bed in lavish purple

bedding & robe & calico cat

window open to the spring

I sit This Afternoon

with My Worn Out Husband

on the remnants

of a stomach bug, He & I

reading financial reports

off His Nexus Tablet

& planning how He can keep

working, rowing

& feeding the cats
