The Hawk Deck

He Stands Stately
Upon His Rail
Preening, He Was
In Relaxation Mode
While Eye Sit
In An Adirondack Chair
Admiring Him
From A Distance Of 6 Feet —
He’s Had His Baked Beans
For Breakfast —
His Six Chunks Of Cheese —
The Cats Are Lounging —
One Under M(eye) Chair
W/ A Black & White Paw
Extended —
The Air Is Still
W/ Songs Of Other Birds —
Oh, How Eye Love Birds!
& Gully Preens Some More,
Sliding His Perfect Beak
Along The Shaft Of One
Little White Puff
In Order 2 Let It
Set Free
2 Float 2 The Arm
Of M(eye) Writing Chair
