The Hawk Corner Room 5:10pm
After trying all day
Eye may not have You eating
Out of M(eye) Hand, yet
This evening You dropped
A long black-tipped pinion
For Me to find in the high
Wildflowers — M(eye) only gull feather
of known identification
The Hawk Corner Room 6:40am
This morning I woke
To the rap tap tapping
At my kitchen door —
Gully got me out of bed
To be fed a hunk
Of chicken fat
From last night’s supper —
I put it on His Rail
Two feet away —
He grabbed it and flew —
The Hawk Corner Room 5:50am
Eye am given peach
Soft in The East, my birdsong
My lyrical drops
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)
