“Scary Shit”
The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:58pm
I Saw A Star Of Blue
surrounded by My Silver
It struck My View
as My Husband said
“Scary Shit — ” in front
of His Computer

PRIVATE PRAISE
The Hawk Queen Bed 2:53pm
I saw A Silver Star
glinting in My Yard
It told Me I’ve done well
not telling will be hard

POEM TO A CAT
The Hawk Queen Bed 4:00pm
Oh Cat, My Cat
with the lemon-green eyes
the colour of Our Sheets
You are here
in this restful room
shaded to the sickness
it supports
I have You curled
at the end of the bed
in the afternoon soliloquy of fever
Oh My Cat
I Love You

OPEN MORNING
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:45am
I raise The Window

to assure My Kitchen’s Order
I hear The Gulls
& know Their Flight
while Song Birds
choose to loiter

I HAVE FOUND HAPPINESS
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 6:34pm
I have found happiness
in the stillness of the air
I have found happiness
in the songs of the birds
I have found happiness

I have found
that I am

FLOCK
The Hawk Back Yard 2:20pm
Birds are like Stars
moving together in a swath
according to One Another
Their Blurred Wings
spread the illumination
Their Bodies carry
the vivid spectacle
of form out of reach

BECAUSE YOU ARE HUMAN
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:46pm
You can feel anything
even a rainbow
no matter how faint
because You are Human
You can see The Colours
and appreciate Them
You can feel The Colours saturating Your Blood
and tingling The Soles of Your Feet
as You stand at Your Dining Room Window

AFRICAN RAIN
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 6:55pm
Astro is The Gorilla of Cats
hulking on the wrought iron table
in the rain licking
the wetness off the glass
reflecting His Blackness
into ripples
of green
