"Good Morning, World!"

MARRIED

The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:32pm

Last Night I Had A Dream

I was married

to Dr Blair

I felt safe

in the security

of Our Marital Bed

I felt His Warm Right Hand

on My Left

& then I went to sleep

Picking Up Shells In Africa

The Hawk Living Room 12:34pm

When I learned to walk

in Africa

I stooped over

& squatted

in The Sands of Gabon

to pick up spiral shells

to lift into

My Mother’s
