“Scary Shit”
The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:58pm
I Saw A Star Of Blue
surrounded by My Silver
It struck My View
as My Husband said
“Scary Shit — ” in front
of His Computer

PRIVATE SIGN
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:40pm
I saw A Silver Star
in My Sea of Red
It told Me of My Thought
That Moment in My Head

PRIVATE PRAISE
The Hawk Queen Bed 2:53pm
I saw A Silver Star
glinting in My Yard
It told Me I’ve done well
not telling will be hard

IT GOT ME
The Hawk Queen Bed 7:05pm
Two Nights ago I stupidly
laid My Back against
a cold red deck chair
& thought: “This could
give Me pneumonia”
There I sat
as I felt the cold seep
into My Left Lung

POEM TO A CAT
The Hawk Queen Bed 4:00pm
Oh Cat, My Cat
with the lemon-green eyes
the colour of Our Sheets
You are here
in this restful room
shaded to the sickness
it supports
I have You curled
at the end of the bed
in the afternoon soliloquy of fever
Oh My Cat
I Love You
