The Hawk Kitchen Outpost

8:24 am

M(eye) Mother used 2 say

She was always looking

out the windows of Her Paradise House

on McNutt’s Island.

She looked over Her Apple Orchard

at Her Molly safely moored

down by The Fish House.

She watched for deer

& of course Her Sheep

grazing Her Wild Grass

along the edge of spruce

& old stone walls.

Here on The Hawk

Eye have The Open Atlantic

w waves of white

deer, if I want —

Gully, Ozzy & Molly

& M(eye) House

described yesterday by a friend

(who hadn’t been here in years)

as “Happy.”
