The Hawk Beach 7:55pm
Eye had just started to write
The Guzzle is @ Its deepest
when the incoming tide
churns its way toward Me
along the far edge
caught in the evening light
like a mini Grand Canyon —
then Eye heard a BUZZ —
a giant flying insect?
Eye looked overhead & guessed
Eye was being spied upon
by M(eye) 1st Ever Drone!
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 2:16pm
I have planted My First Rose Bush
“Knock-out Pink”
under Our New Sign saying The Blairs
in iridescent white
printed with a Blue Jay —
Chicken Polenta is made for The Kids
and can be baked anytime
and We’ve been invited to Their Grandfather’s
Memorial Service Friday Afternoon —
tomorrow night My Tree-planting Darlings
and one Mexican Collie
are to be collected
from the airport four hours away
and I will be making ham sandwiches
to take
and a Duncan Hines carrot cake
fortified with chopped pecans
just to have on hand
