The Hawk Kitchen Outpost
12:40 pm
Eye sat before M(eye) Pet
& didn’t wave or wiggle —
Gully’s gaining trust
Which is the key 2 training —
& what kind of person would Eye be
If Eye got close enough
2 grab Him for M(eye) Supper?
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost
10:40 am
Gully is On Deck
Rapping & Tapping His Big
Golden Beak for cheese
The Hawk Corner Room 6:05am
The mesh of the screen
Between me, cat and my sun
Is Dragonfly Wing
The Hawk West Desk Window 10:30am

Definition 3:
A PALL (of distaste — my word)
Covers, shrouds, or
Overspreads,
Esp. with darkness
Or gloom
The Hawk Front Door 6:55pm
A 4″ white gull feather
Breathes suspended
By microfilaments
Of less than a spider’s work —
A symbol of Hope
Peace
Forgiveness?
Love —
Any mushy
Word
You
Like?
My Hawk Bedroom 9:45pm
I’ve been touched
By two men —
One who gives me strength
To alleviate pain
And one who saps me
For my brain
GOOD NIGHT NURSE
My Rocking Chair 9:00pm
Oh sun how Eye hate you!
You vile hunk of
Liquid metal
You can rot forever
From your slime —
Eye detest your vulgar
Comings and goings —
Why don’t you ever stay?
What R U afraid of?
Must you stare at me
Day after day
Coming unbidden
Through my West
Through my East
(At least you’re Silver there)
I’ve had about enough of you —
I hate your sleezy guts
(If you have any)
The Hawk Deck 2:22pm
Eye could very easily
Rub out Your Yellow Star —
Give Me a Moment
Like the One Eye had
A million years ago
And I’ll work for You
If provoked
I’ll work
The Hawk Deck 11:45am
The Daisies R M(eye) Universe
Oh how I love Them so —
I picked My One @ random
And de-flowered Him to know
Yes He loves me
Now I’m sure
And tell you
I’ll be true
For years & years I’ve longed for Him
Butt now Eye’s
Foolin U
My Bedroom Rocking Chair 11:11am
This morning when I woke
@ 6:00
Eye did not know for the life of me
How old it was I could not be —
I wondered if I was 22
Or if I was 23
Then I remembered I’m “56”
And said, “Oh yeah”
2 X It
