The Hawk Living Room 7:30pm

I ate My Potato Salad

& drank a beer

here by the open Living Room Window

at the edge of The Tomato-coloured Couch

but that was at the edge of The Galaxy

where stars burst & die

I would lie My Head on a blanket

& listen to the aftershocks

wafting through

on the surge

of ocean mist

& bird call
