The Hawk Queen Bed

5:26 am

Eye had You that extra week

so that You would grow

so that You could be killed —

that’s how much Your Father

didn’t want You.

But I wanted You — badly enough

to make up a Blue Devil

in Your Place —

“The Impetuous Child”

Who would linger forever

as The Male Counterpart.
