EYE Was Christ

In That Knotty Cottage

Luxury Buy The Sea

M(EYE) Thinking Was

That Everybody Knew

But Now It’s Only EYE

Can See

m(eye) new room

Today EYE found M(EYE) Glasses

swept off M(EYE) Pretty Face

on The 27th of December

when I was hit in place —

Yes EYE had a 2nd pair

but They were lost as well

Evacuated from a Woman’s Shelter

Who Will Never Know M(EYE) Hell

Today My Son is 29 —

I named Him Peak

when He was Born

We had a Dog

Whose name did rhyme

and so I kept Him

to Be Mine

The Hawk Corner Room 7:11am

For Many Many Years

I Had No Where To Go

When Dr Blair Arose

From His Bed

I Sat To Look @ My Toes.

Now EYE Sleep In M(EYE) Daughter’s Room

And Wake Before The Crack Of Dawn

EYE Appreciate M(EYE) Collected Art

& Make The Coffee

For M(EYE) Fawn

The Hawk TV Room 5:11pm

The Indians

The Blacks

The Middle Eastern Women

The Jews

The Mental Patients

The Drugged Children?

Did EYE Leave Anybody Out?

The Hawk TV Room 10:09am

If I Could

Touch Away

The Pain

of This World —

I Would,

I Could

&

I Will

So Help Me

YES — YOU —YOU

My Great Grandmother

Mary Lawrence

had Her First Born Child

die on Her

at the age of thirteen days

so a book said —

according to My Father

She buried Him Her Self

The Hawk Corner Room 7:43am

When I was a Teen

I mowed down

My Mother’s Wild Flowers

despite Her Screams

the way My Predecessors

mowed down

The Indians
