The Hawk Queen Bed 8:52pm

There was a home-made house

once

built of stone

& piled-up floors

built by My Grand Father Bobby Hyde

& I as a child

called it “The Christmas House”

& asked My Mother

when were We going back

“To The Christmas House?”

& now I have My X-Miss Tree

still up

& being ogled

by people

Who call Me an artist
