The Hawk Dining Room 2:00pm

Last night Eliza strung A Garland

out of popcorn & dried orange circles —

She hung It over Our Dining Room Window

with Its view of sky & water

— I stood before It —

The Garland dipped at nose level

I smelled The Smell of Delicacy

I stood back to view

The Subtle Transparency

of One Curling Slice

angled against the clearing clouds
