The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:22pm
My Halo is back
visiting Me for half an hour
while I listened
to world financial forecasts
with Hunter
January 5, 2015 The Tomato-coloured Couch 8:07pm
I was an awkward Bride
in My pink
size 13
50’s chiffon
on the arm of
a fallen Doctor
Who has to work
because THAT
is His IDENTITY
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:39am
I go to bed
with the sexiest man I know
to dream My Dreams
& wake up
to coffee in the morning
& the latest report
on Gold
The Hawk En-suit Bath 1:11pm
I Am Venus Rising
Out Of Her Bath
Of Bubble
Having To Towel Off
(With Her Grey Towel Of Course)
Any Trace
Of Her
Submergence
The Hawk Kitchen 10:15am
I stood like Lolita
in one gym sock
at the head of the stairs
while WHB informed Me
the eye doctor
found nothing wrong
& that I just have to live
with seeing My Aura
which is My Halo
The Hawk Outpost 4:49pm
There’s That Beautiful Soft Light
Along The Horizon
Again
Shielding Me From Harm
While My Husband Takes A Nap
& The Cats Finish Their Supper
The Hawk Dining Room 8:00am
“Everything’s going
all to Hell
very fast*”
yet I have
salmon pink clouds
turning to gold

December 9, 2014 The Hawk Window Seat 8:30pm
All I ever really wanted
was An Affair
with Dr Blair —
but He wanted Me
to be cured
to cook Him His Meals
to go out on dark & stormy nights
for Gravol
to help let the cats out
& back in
so I grew
into A Doctor’s Wife
for Him
The Hawk Living Room 2:35pm
Dr Blair makes a striking figure
even in pants from the dirty laundry
— I didn’t get His Jeans dried on time —
so off He went to do a house call
in spotted cargo pants
black leather jacket
& stethoscope in hand
