The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:33am
My Life is in Order:
the grass is being cut
after three weeks —
a super load of laundry is on
and I feel like
cooking something
decent tonight
for My Hard-working Husband
who had to take pain-killers last night
— He’s still stoned —
and is going into the office
@ Noon
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:45am
I dreamt of a cheerful baby
named Turrettes
who jumped on a bed
and fell off backwards
on Her Head but
She was alright —
only spewed out a streak
of vomit
across surrounding walls
which I cheerfully
cleaned up
much to the thanks
of Her Mother
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:09am
The Sun rises North now
over The Scrub Spruce
leaving only a glance
of Silver Water
for Me to stretch My Eye to —
but I saw It this morning
from the bathroom window upstairs
where I COULD see more water
and saw It blip to the surface
before I went back
to sleep
