The Hawk Kitchen Outpost

11:11 am

M(eye) Very Tame Gull

started out on Peanuts

thrown from The Deck

& graduated 2 saying “breakfast”

(“brrk brrk”)

for a Piece of Bacon

while standing on The Rail, His Rail —

now He preens

& washes His Big Yellow Beak

in The Recent White Bowl of Water

splashing around like a kid

& knocking on M(eye) Sliding Glass Door

Opened This Gorgeous Morning

2 Let Him Inside

(if He so chooses)

WITHOUT The Invitation of FOOD
