READY
The Hawk West Desk Window 10:58am
I am ready to go
in My Ripped Grey Capris
& sleeveless purple top
dressed in the colours
I couldn’t paint
on top of My Bathroom Door
— grey —
(We have no towel racks)
& purple draped over
the door handle

MY CLOSET
The Hawk West Desk Window 3:45pm
I’ve picked out My Signing Party Dress:
moonlight silk Armani
worn only once
for an anniversary in Halifax
I out-grew it but
have shed the weight
My Suit Dress is sculptural with Its bodice jacket
& mother-of-pearl buttons
I will wear Silver Sandals
one heel glued on from
October 26, 2013
when I partied to unconsciousness
& threw up in a munchie tray
belonging to the richest woman
I know

The Hawk Queen Bed 9:02am
Snow White’s dwarfs
go off to work
mining gem stones
every morning
My Husband goes off
to The Salt Mines
of Humanity
& leaves Me to The House
The Cooking
& to My Awaited
Kiss

WHILE MAKING COFFEE

I open My Window
to the cries of gulls
& flash My Eyes against
the light out over
My Morning Ocean

CLOSE-KNIT
The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:10pm
There is safety in talking
about the weather
but not in asking
about the doings of someone new:
“I don’t know the girl —
she writes poetry”

Grand Egyptian by Cambridge
The Hawk En Suit Bath 11:04am
I dried My Head
in a sea of Purple
& looked to see
My Flanks flecked
with galactic lint
or was it the inception
of insects
that I wore?

UPON WAKING EARLY
The Hawk Queen Bed 6:24am
The Sky is aflame
with The Rising Sun
& I have seen multitudinous
stars
at the start
of My Day

YOUR TIME
July 17, 2015 The Hawk Queen Bed 10:00pm
Your Years are like
a possession —
whatever decade you
happen to be in —
Those Years belong
to You

“You’ll Have To Do Another Sculpture”
The Hawk West Desk Window 9:38pm
He lay flat out
My Longest Cat
black before The Window
of The Sun having
gone
