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

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?

HUSBAND ON THE COUCH

The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:22pm

Ours is a lazy house

after the departure of cheery house guests

I cannot get back to My Knitting —

napped with My Window way up

to the swoosh of the waves

& when I got up

checked the price of gold

& Silver

FIRST FLIGHT

The Hawk Deck 3:50pm

I looked up from My Knitting Block

to hear & see raucous gulls

excited in flight

one on either side

of a brown fledgling

still squeaking His First Year Call

encouraged by followers behind

& all I could do was wonder

was this His First Flight

heralded?

HIGH TIDE @ 10:22

The Hawk Deck 12:15pm

EYE

have stepped upon

The Cape

to see The Source

of All I Hear

!&!

All I Live For

I have touched

The Monument

To Safety

!&!

Lived

@ 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

PROMOTION

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:45am

Silver Sea & Silver Sky

wake Me up

to The Sun held high

over water turned to mint

The Clouds streak over

My Righteous Glint

PROGRESSION

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 2:22pm

Molten Silver greets Me

in The Morning

Hardened Gold at Night

Silver I will stock

ahead of The Game

while Gold will just delight

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
