The Hawk Window Seat 5:30am
I woke from The Hawk Queen Bed
to see The Full Moon resting
over The Cape
and on the other side
of The Earth
the pink glow of promise
that soon I would see
My Beloved Sun
edge Its way to the surface
The Hawk Portico 5:04pm
While waiting for My Tea to steep
I watched a girl doing cartwheels
and walk-overs
in a neighbouring yard
— I did them too —
immediately upon arrival at My Grandparents’
extensive lawn in Jordan Bay
and when My Tea was ready
the girl climbed into a big grey truck
and was gone
The Hawk Deck 7:19am
EYE have been held in a trance
by The Birds, The Rooster
Their Song on The Air
The Silver on The Sea
and My Successful Adjustment
to the sleepless effect
of going off My anti-psychotic medication
four days ago
The Hawk Deck 8:40am
In the early to mid morning
the domestic call of The Rooster
cackles through The Scrub Spruce
from one road over
& delights My Humour mixed
with the wild clucking
of Our Local Bird Life
I so dearly love
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 6:20am
I Love The Sun
filling My Kitchen
accompanying the coffee pot
bringing the bird song in
through the screened
outpost window
& filling My Life
The Hawk Corner Room 5:45am
I watched The Sun Rise
first a golden glimmer —
then it popped up
rising faster
than it seemed to go down last night
–
I am off the anti-psychotic medication
I took to sleep for twenty-odd years
& am waking earlier
but feeling
great
The East Side of The Hawk House 10:56am
EYE have heard The Call
of The Brown-headed Cow Bird
perched upon M(EYE) car mirror
He is the very essence
of falling droplets
and His Liquid Melody
plop plop
excuses His Actions!!
The Hawk Portico 6:11am
The tail ends
of a Magnificent Double Rainbow
grace The Cape
at the crack of dawn
this morning
I saw It in Its Full Glory
at 5:44am
& texted all My Friends
The Hawk Exercise Room Window 10:47am
Today before My Row
I opened the Hawk Exercise Room Window
finding two galactic
Spider Hatchings
— gold They are —
I am with Them
after My Row
One on the outside of the little screen
One on the inside
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:58am
The thinnest strip of Silver
sets My North Eastern View
The Horizon line it designates —
starting at the scrub spruce
travelling to a brown roof top
where the center of The Horizon
turns dark grey
travelling to the second roof top
and beyond to My Neighbour’s
leafy tree
