"Good Morning, World!"

LATE WINTER

The Hawk Kitchen 6:13pm

The Twigs Of The Scraggly Apple

Feel Their Way Up Toward The Eastern Blush

Of Sunset To My Back

The Top Branch Reaches A Cloud

— Fully Grey —

And Delineates My Future Comfort

In All Its Windy

Shivers

DISROBED

The Hawk Corner Room 10:22am

I Stood Naked

— as My Shower heated —

before The Corner Room Window

to lay My Eyes

upon The Sea

glistening Silver

in lateral streaks

to Cleanse Me

of My Jaded Spirit
