ARMED & DANGEROUS

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:29pm

Armed with a blunted bread knife

clutched right-handed

I have baked My Last Cake

& am about to survive

outside My Kitchen Haven

deep inside the lands of dispute

& vocalization of the state

of Our Laws & Morality

Dignity & Human Endeavor

BLUE MONDAY*

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:00pm

Today I wore a Parade of Gold

dangling medallions

& nugget rings

all for the cause

of making millions

out of the pockets

of few

*Turd Ferguson

BLACK & GOLD

The Hawk Deck 12:42pm

I Fed The Gulls

In My Signature Dress

in view of conscientious construction workers

& Fed My Husband

a bagel & cream cheese

while He Listened

to The Internet

HERE I COME!

The Hawk Deck 10:52am

As The World Crashes

Down Around Me

I Rise To Do

My Laundry

On This MOST Beautiful Day

Of Dis-cover-y

WHAT COLOUR MONDAY IS THIS?

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:02am

My Ocean is caught

in The Blinding Silver

or is that The Silver

to awaken

The World?

THE WRITING

The Hawk Living Room 5:04pm

My Coffee Table is laden

with The Puzzle

Flaming June

undone by My Doodles

Day into Night

left-handed hieroglyphics

each convoluted piece

notated

@ 9:30pm

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:30pm

I lay My Knitting aside

to go upstairs

to take My Pills

in order that I sleep

for The Rest

of My L(EYE)FE

POT O’ SILVER

The Hawk Dining Room 8:17pm

Tonight I see

a rainbow

complete

over The Atlantic Ocean

& Tonight I question

the wonder of My Halo

seen again Today

for forty minutes

of intensity, distraction

& sacredness

of Human Vision

FLAMING JUNE*

The Hawk Library 2:05pm

A Sheath of Silver

above Her Head

She lays below

Her Hair

painted through Her Tresses

bare —

She holds Her Secret

to Her Chest

*painted by Sir Frederic Leighton 1895

EYE WILL NOT

The Hawk Portico 4:57pm

EYE will not be contained

by a cottage studio

where EYE write or paint

the fog tumbling in

like the meringue

EYE fold

into MEYE Bread Pudding
