The Hawk  Living Room 

Today My husband’s Cami Cat

broke a beautiful dish

I’d placed for safe-keeping

on Eliza’s bathroom window sill —

She–The Cat — was locked away

to prevent Her from disappearing

into The Movers’ Truck

here to rid Me of My husband’s Shit

Well — The Job got stopped

much to My surprise

when various lawyers

caught wind

& threatened to sue The Mover

Who Knows My Brother

EYE Was Christ

In That Knotty Cottage

Luxury Buy The Sea

M(EYE) Thinking Was

That Everybody Knew

But Now It’s Only EYE

Can See

m(eye) new room

Today EYE found M(EYE) Glasses

swept off M(EYE) Pretty Face

on The 27th of December

when I was hit in place —

Yes EYE had a 2nd pair

but They were lost as well

Evacuated from a Woman’s Shelter

Who Will Never Know M(EYE) Hell
