The Hawk Corner Room

7:11 am

The things I have given up

within my 65 years:

1 boyfriend when I was 18

2 husbands

several houses —

along w The Atlantic House

(my 1st Marital Property)

my Mother’s House on McNutt’s Island

Her Shakespeare House in Town

The Jordan Bay Property

fell into ruin

(perhaps not because of me

entirely) —

Eye just took a photo

of where Eye live now:

looking East

over The Atlantic Ocean

w neighbouring roof lines

silhouetted along the tops of scrub spruce

against M(eye) Dawning Sky —

I think I’ll print It off.

The Hawk Queen Bed

6:05 am

Dreamt of a glass-blown Lady Slipper

in a cottage garden

@ The Atlantic House —

pink & gold.

She was so precious

w little toy emblems

of Children

beneath.

Inside The House

I had sand on My Feet

trying 2 dust Them off

& off

sand was under a sofa —

I tried

& tried

2 sweep it up

w a cloth —

“Why am I doing this

in a house that doesnt belong to me

anymore?”
