Eye have a full-grown Youngster:
Junior Gully, still brown & speckled
eating out of Gully’s dish
on The Deck
& This Morning Eye decided
in Gully’s unusual absence
that Junior

Morning
After Waking Up
2 watch Taylor Swift reels
on M(eye) Phone —
along w/ Drew Barrymore
Meghan Markle
& Others, none by choice —
Eye came downstairs
2 let The Cats in.
As Eye opened M(eye) Sliding Glass Door
a Great Blue Heron lofted past
2 settle on The Top
of M(eye) Scrub Spruce Horizon
2 stay there
while Eye composed
right on M(eye) Phone.
He sits there still
while M(eye) Tea steeps
as Eye wait
2 watch Him fly again.
Then as Eye looked up
from This Writing
He had disappeared.

Eye am sitting in Eliza’s Tiled Kitchen
hearing a chainsaw going nearby
in This Havoc-seated Town, City
Eye have never been 2 before.
Eliza is still sleeping
on Her Fold-down Couch
while Eye have vacated
The Air-conditioned Bedroom.
She had A Dinner last night, late
in honour of Her 30th Birthday
w/ Her Host/House Mother’s Family
from when Eliza was a foriegn exchange student
half a lifetime ago.
Yesterday too We visited The Mayan Ruins
of Edzna —
a fast 45 minutes South of Campeche —
2 discover The Ancient Stone Towers of Stairs
In The Rain We Arrived
In The Blaring Sun We Climbed
& took pictures of awe- inspiring stone-work
complete w/ Vultures Drying Their Wings
& Iguanas Basking On Timeless Rocks
In The Stillness of That Spiritual Ground —
Eye do not have to visit The Pyramids now.

Would Eye Miss
The Dewy Spider Webs
luffing outside M(eye) Kitchen Sink?
Would Eye Miss
The Scraggly Apple
written about in earnest
decades ago?
Would Eye Miss
The 3 Remaining Cats
without Their Litter Box
& made to go outside?
Would Eye Miss
M(eye) Art Plastered
On M(eye) Walls —
M(eye) Furniture?
The Radio Playing
The French Station
Out of Moncton?
The Waves?
Eye Know Eye Would Miss
The Waves.
