The Hawk Corner Room 4:34pm
I hear the surf
through the fog
of Our Elusive Spring
I have decked My Daughter’s
powder room with accents
of purple and I sit
on My Lotus Ottoman
with the wet window
before Me
& eggplant ensemble
behind
The Hawk Dining Room 5:00pm
I’ve polished The Silver Candelabra in a New Ceremony
but first had to get old wax off all three sections
with a tongue depressor from Hunter’s Office
— I got the splotches of wax off the mirrored tray
which The Candelabra sits on in the centre of Our Marble Table:
Candelabra Base
New Doily
Round Mirrored Tray
Marble Lazy Susan
Round Marble Table — seats six
–
The three Candles are new glittery Silver from China
via Halifax
I’ll be eating My Soup from The Basement
(Hunter’s working late)
at My New Setting Tonight
after My Celebratory Glass
of White Wine
Our New Bedroom
made new by The Floor
and careful arrangement of old furniture
— I got Eliza to help with The Bed —
is finished in the aftermath
of Super Sandy’s Nor’ Eastern Spiralling Edge
— Our only casualty here
the frayed and torn edges
of neighbouring Canadian Flags —
— Rain Warning still in the forecast —
but we will sleep
in refinement
amidst the unleashing roar of Our Ocean
Our Green Bedroom
is like an attic room
cozy under the eaves of the peaked roof-line
It’s been newly floored
with cork IDENTITY SILVER
& newly trimmed in Beauti-Tone
DESIGNER SERIES Stanhope Shore Matte
while I painted two coats
I listened to CJLS
& took My Lunch Break the first day
& A Tea Break the second
–
Our Colossal Bed is still pulled away
from the west wall
to allow for the remaining installation
of moulding along the baseboard
Our “Always Kiss Me Goodnight” sign
given to Me by Our Real Estate Agent
when We moved in
hangs above the south window
harmonizing with the trim
