UNIDENTIFIED CHIRP

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 5:58pm

I am drawn

to the outpost window

by the song

of a bird I cannot

see

SKY BURST

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:18am

The Sky is heavenly this morning

with subtle streaks of sun rays

shining down in broken lines

of Silver on The Sea

When next I looked

the clouds had shifted

allowing Sun

to bathe the water

in glimmering shimmer

and to bathe My Heart

in Star Light

SHORTCAKE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:03am

After a dessert plate was forked clean

a waggle of the tongue

sent Me on the run

& My Over-cooked Strawberries

were the very

colour

WHILE MAKING COFFEE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:11am

I open My Window

to the cries of gulls

& flash My Eyes against

the light out over

My Morning Ocean

CLOSE-KNIT

The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:10pm

There is safety in talking

about the weather

but not in asking

about the doings of someone new:

“I don’t know the girl —

she writes poetry”

UPON WAKING EARLY

The Hawk Queen Bed 6:24am

The Sky is aflame

with The Rising Sun

& I have seen multitudinous

stars

at the start

of My Day

“You’ll Have To Do Another Sculpture”

The Hawk West Desk Window 9:38pm

He lay flat out

My Longest Cat

black before The Window

of The Sun having

gone

STAR SET

The Tomato-coloured Couch 8:32pm

I See A Peach-coloured Star

lowering Itself

beneath the wires

sinking into the fog

of the shoreline

It Is My Home Star
