"Good Morning, World!"

SATURDAY AFTERNOON

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 3:30pm

I love My Kitchen Outpost

I can sit here as if

on a porch

surrounded on one side

by My Outdoor View

even if Its foggy

I can sit in My Purple Robe

in My Apple-green Chair

with a cat

on The Ottoman

& listen to a distant radio

drinking tea

& texting

 

DEFERENCE TO A GRACKLE

The Hawk Kitchen 10:00am

Last Night I watched

A Crow sidling up

to some bread I had thrown

but before He got there

A Grackle came clucking around

& The Crow moved off

three steps back

to allow The Grackle

first peck
