Eye will Not be ruled

By gull nor wondering man

If he wants bacon

M(eye) Bedroom 10:00am

Eye have on M(eye)

Black Negligee

Not worn since M(eye) Husband

Got arrested six months ago–

Too bad no one butt

A BLACK & WHITE CAT

Is here to see how IT

Is accessorized

My Bedroom 6:55am

Gully’s Breakfast

Is On The Rocks

w/ His Girlfriend

They Dine Upon Purina

Kept In Line

From The Sighting of 1 Racoon

The Other Night —

Would The Cats Keep Away

A Racoon Nest

Under The Deck?

My Bedroom 9:45pm

Eye might as well be

Wearing a chastity belt

But for M(eye)nd Lover

The Hawk Corner Room 5:10pm

After trying all day

Eye may not have You eating

Out of M(eye) Hand, yet

This evening You dropped

A long black-tipped pinion

For Me to find in the high

Wildflowers — M(eye) only gull feather

of known identification

The Hawk Corner Room 6:40am

This morning I woke

To the rap tap tapping

At my kitchen door —

Gully got me out of bed

To be fed a hunk

Of chicken fat

From last night’s supper —

I put it on His Rail

Two feet away —

He grabbed it and flew —

The Hawk Corner Room 5:50am

Eye am given peach

Soft in The East, my birdsong

My lyrical drops

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost

12:40 pm

Eye sat before M(eye) Pet

& didn’t wave or wiggle —

Gully’s gaining trust

Which is the key 2 training —

& what kind of person would Eye be

If Eye got close enough

2 grab Him for M(eye) Supper?

10:40 am

Gully is On Deck

Rapping & Tapping His Big

Golden Beak for cheese

The Hawk Corner Room 6:05am

The mesh of the screen

Between me, cat and my sun

Is Dragonfly Wing
