"Good Morning, World!"

MY CLOSET

The Hawk West Desk Window 3:45pm

I’ve picked out My Signing Party Dress:

moonlight silk Armani

worn only once

for an anniversary in Halifax

I out-grew it but

have shed the weight

My Suit Dress is sculptural with Its bodice jacket

& mother-of-pearl buttons

I will wear Silver Sandals

one heel glued on from

October 26, 2013

when I partied to unconsciousness

& threw up in a munchie tray

belonging to the richest woman

I know

STAY-AT-HOME-PRINCESS

The Hawk Queen Bed 9:02am

Snow White’s dwarfs

go off to work

mining gem stones

every morning

My Husband goes off

to The Salt Mines

of Humanity

& leaves Me to The House

The Cooking

& to My Awaited

Kiss

WHILE MAKING COFFEE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:11am

I open My Window

to the cries of gulls

& flash My Eyes against

the light out over

My Morning Ocean
