The Hawk Portico 2:24pm

I see a single wave

break

periodically

out past the neighbours’

laundry lines —

I could time it

for You

but that would succeed

only

in winding down

the day

Dear Readers:

I made a change in this morning’s poem “Silver Wash.” I think it is an improvement.

Thank you all for reading my work. I write it for you basically.

Your Friend,

Joanna

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:41am

The Ocean is calm

so still The Silver

drips in undulating

star form

drip, drip

drop

into My Eyes

and Face

I drink
