SILVER STANCE
The Hawk Dining Room 11:09am
I catch The Silver Glare
off The Ocean beyond
a neighbour’s shed
The Sky is paraded
by a scattering of cloud
I sit in The Light
to write of My Day
to tell The World
I Am Staking My Claim

“All The Time In The World”
The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:30pm
How valuable is My Time
when I have so much of It?
I can get a call
from My Son stocking groceries for His Drive
to Mexico from Vancouver
while I linger in Nova Scotia
with My Shopping Cart in the snack isle
of Sobey’s
an hour before My Manicure Appt.
taking all the time I need
to say Good-bye

A DREAM OF RED
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:03am
I dreamt I was dressed
in a Santa Claus dress
inside a forum of people —
I had the floor
and addressed the crowd
by emphatically stating
“It’s OK for adults to dress up
but Children should never be
lied to.”

A CRACK IN THE SKY
The Hawk Kitchen 5:01pm
I looked up from cutting
My Potatoes
and took in My Breath
seeing The First Illuminaton
of an otherwise nondescript day
— The Sun had broken through
in The West
and to The East I saw
The Scraggly Apple
and bank of scrub spruce
momentarily
tinged with Gold

MY HOUSE 2
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:18am
I am comfortable
in My House —
It’s not a hotel
with lavish sheets & pillows —
It comes with A Husband
& Seven Cats
lying about with the rain
& Our Second Cups
of Coffee

GESTURE
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:57am
Hunter has a sideways glance
I find so endearing
He cocks His Head
to the right
& catches You with His Eye
tilted
for a split second
& looks away & down
having hinted
“Isn’t that so?”

ALERT 2
The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:22pm
My Halo is back
visiting Me for half an hour
while I listened
to world financial forecasts
with Hunter

SILVER BULLET
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:33pm

at the stake I will be shot
in The Back again
