The Hawk Kitchen Outpost
5:00 am
Have the deck light on
offering subdued lighting
2 my night-light-lit kitchen
illuminating what’s left
of The Scraggly Apple
the deck rail
& trio of XMiss Star
prism decanter stop
& little moulded hot-air balloon
dangling from M(eye) Eastern Window
glinting w drops of drizzle

My Mother’s Loss
The Loss of My Mother
was M(eye) Greatest Gain:
Her Cremation precipitated
by The Visitation
of The Dear Little Chickadee
embodying Her Spirit
precipitated My 4 Days
of No Sleep
leading 2 The Glory
of M(eye) Shower of Silver Lights —
THE Experience Never 2 B TOPPED
or STOPPED
leaving Me
M(eye) Own Person
shared spiritually
by The One Man
Who saw It Coming.
