MORNING ON THE HAWK

by Joanna Gilman Hyde

The Hawk Deck 10:17am

The Waves sing out to Me

while Our Coffee steeps

Hunter is feeding the cats

I will check My Rooftop Views

@ 10:22

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:57am

The Surf is to The South

coming through Our Bedroom Windows

while We sit, legs stretched out

drinking second cups of coffee

on Our Hawk Queen Bed

with a solitary cat —

one of six —

resting between Us
