The Hawk Queen Bed 11:40am

Do We Own The Peepers

In Our Muskrat Pond?

Do We Own The Birds

Upon Our Lawn?

–

The Mourning Dove Upon A Wire

Is In My View

And My Desire

–

I May Claim The Waves

In My Broad Reach

And Walk Along Their Salty Beach

–

Yet All I Love

In What Surrounds

Holds Me Close

Within Its Bounds
