The Hawk Family Room 4:49pm
My Daughter Eliza handed Me
the tail end of a smoothie
strawberry froth
lining the bottom of a glass
I slurped the remnants of berry seeds
and minuscule bubbles
leaving a spherical star-scape
tilted toward the sun —
a pink piece
of The Universal Puzzle
Shelburne, NS 12:30pm
Take The Power
That Is Yours
From Your Hair
Your Dress
Your Silver Jewellery
–
Take The Power
From Your Mind
Your Dreams
Your Aspirations
–
Look To The Sky
What Birds Do You See?
Are They Black Or White
& What Does That Mean?
The Hawk Living Room 3:15pm
Here, take This Silver-bricked
Highway
out to Your Island
take Your Golden-haired Daughter
out to Her Corral
take Your Silver-haired Husband
out of His Office
fly Your Little Man
over the scrub spruce
out to Your Paradisical Beach

The Hawk Kitchen 5:57pm
I am in self-imposed Lock-down
in My Own Kitchen
listening to peepers
to The West
and The Ocean —
can I go outside
to hear It?
I hear only those tiny frogs
which provide Me
with such joy
The Hawk West Desk Window 10:09am
I stood as The Child
stooped slightly
with My Left Hand on My Belly
My Right behind My Back
My Head turned to The Left
“These are My Socks
My Watch
My Room, My Radio
It’s My World
— leave My World Alone”
The Hawk Kitchen 7:34am
When I Drink My Water
I Am Drinking The Sky
When I Eat My Fruit
I Am Eating Primordial Earth
When I Smell My Coffee
I Am At Home
When I Am Awake
So Too Is The World
