January 17 The Hawk Queen Bed 10:55pm

Imagine going to sleep

with the windows open

more than a crack

in the middle of January

letting in the swoosh of waves

no wind

only the recollection

of words to a little doctor

in 1993:

I feel so vulnerable, 

I need a doctor who loves me —

I need to be taken care of

in more ways than one

in 2014

I thrive

in The Hawk Queen Bed

beside a giant doctor

who loves Me
