The Hawk Queen Bed 10:00pm
Today I wore a Parade of Gold
dangling medallions
& nugget rings
all for the cause
of making millions
out of the pockets
of few

The Hawk Deck 12:42pm
I Fed The Gulls
In My Signature Dress
in view of conscientious construction workers
& Fed My Husband
a bagel & cream cheese
while He Listened
to The Internet
The Hawk Deck 10:52am
As The World Crashes
Down Around Me
I Rise To Do
My Laundry
On This MOST Beautiful Day
Of Dis-cover-y
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:02am
My Ocean is caught
in The Blinding Silver
or is that The Silver
to awaken
The World?
The Hawk Living Room 5:04pm
My Coffee Table is laden
with The Puzzle
Flaming June
undone by My Doodles
Day into Night
left-handed hieroglyphics
each convoluted piece
notated
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:22pm
Ours is a lazy house
after the departure of cheery house guests
I cannot get back to My Knitting —
napped with My Window way up
to the swoosh of the waves
& when I got up
checked the price of gold
& Silver
The Hawk Deck 3:50pm
I looked up from My Knitting Block
to hear & see raucous gulls
excited in flight
one on either side
of a brown fledgling
still squeaking His First Year Call
encouraged by followers behind
& all I could do was wonder
was this His First Flight
heralded?
The Hawk Deck 12:15pm
EYE
have stepped upon
The Cape
to see The Source
of All I Hear
!&!
All I Live For
I have touched
The Monument
To Safety
!&!
Lived
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:30pm
I lay My Knitting aside
to go upstairs
to take My Pills
in order that I sleep
for The Rest
of My L(EYE)FE
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 3:34pm
If
I
had
had
My Aqua Wool Skeins
& filament needles
in The Yarmouth Psychiatric Unit

would They have let Me
out?
