The Hawk Kitchen 9:30am
Yesterday I put on a play
for My Husband —
I dressed in Eliza’s Black Satin Robe
& My World Trade Center Earrings
took My Wedding Rings Off
& declared to WHB
that He houses
The Most Dangerous Woman In The World —
then the gold and silver pin holding My Robe
exploded off Me
causing Me to change
into My Silver Grey
with Earrings of Dangling Gold
from Africa
& rhinestone bracelet:
a bauble of The Earth
The Hawk Dining Room 9:45am
I caught The Gleam
through My Dining Room
off The Silver Candelabra
The Snow is melting
& The Sun shines
diagonal rays downward
upon The Silver
Pool of Ocean
The Hawk Corner Room 7:10pm
Listen to Your Heart
beating —
what is it telling You?
Trust Your Eyes
Your Vision
how is It guiding You?
Feel your Feelings —
They are What
You are made of —
They are Your Mind
The Hawk Window Seat 1:41pm
I see My Silver Toes
all ten of Them
poking out of the fading
bubble bath
–
I wallow here
in My Greatness — yes
I am utterly self-absorbed
yet wish only the best
for women in tubs
everywhere
The Hawk Window Seat 8:40am
The Cape Light
flanked by 2 scraggly spruce
stands out white
against a dark
& snow-filled sky
–
She alerts Me
to My Happiness
to My Security
to My Understanding
that no matter what
happens
I will be set
