"Good Morning, World!"

Beep Beep

The Hawk West Desk Window 8:15pm

There’s a purple cloud

out there now

with The Peepers going

It’s a scene, Man

A Scene

&

I Love It

EASTER EVENING

The Hawk West Desk Window 7:04pm

I Lift The Shade

From My Husband’s Nap

To Check The Progress

Of The Sun — It

Lays Out Her Silver

Upon The Bay

An Hour Before The Set

We’ll Watch

STATIONED

The Hawk Portico 3:15pm

I am like a Big Italian Woman

leaning on bare elbows

out an open window

surveying Her Neighbourhood —

does She hear The Birds

as She nods to Her Neighbours

& watches Children on bicycles?

MORNING REPORT

The Hawk Outpost 10:26am

I Lift My Life Glass

To The Silver On The Water

& Watch As One Gull Flies By

Within The Breadth Of A Dappling

Of Cloud

A Fishing Boat On The Horizon

Shimmers In The Mix

Of My Sea

& Sky

&

I

Drink
