The Hawk Kitchen Outpost

11:30 am

Eye was That Girl Next Door

Who went one step too far —

embarrassing, shameless, naive

desperate as I always have been

& now that I’m almost 65

not much has changed.

I’ve left a trail of letters

one book

a bunch of poems

outlining a life

grappling for effect

fatherless from an early age —

can it all be blamed

on THAT??
