The Hawk Queen Bed 11:11am
While Our Second Pot of Coffee
steeped
an amorphous flock of Starlings
(at least I assume They were Starlings)
crowded out the sky to the south
& landed on several high wires
matting there
until They took off
scattered
to the west
leaving the wires swaying
in Their rush
leaving Me to pour The Coffee
The Hawk Queen Bed 8:08pm
Big News among The Crows
today, heralded by several Jays
as I looked to The Grey Ocean
& Sky — The US Mint
sold out Its Silver Eagles
while A Great Blue Heron flew
past My Kitchen Outpost
The Hawk Window Seat 5:05pm
We are on a passage way
toward & of seduction — I am
Dr Blair’s — I belong
in His House By The Sea
with The Sun setting golden
thrown against The Silver Clouds
The Hawk Outpost 6:40pm
I am The Wisps of Gold
turning Pink
as The Clock turns
turning Grey
to Early Evening White
as a deer with antlers
grazes in My Back Yard
The Hawk Window Seat 4:05pm
What Motivates The Bird
To Fly?
Is It Just That He
Has Wings?
Or Is It The Longing
For Companionship
That Keeps Him
In His School
Aloft?
The Hawk Outpost 3:36pm
There Sits One Cloud
Perfectly Bulbous
Out Over My Flattened Sea —
Today Is A Day For Me
The Sun Is On The Sky
& I’ll Have Dinner Guests
To Round Out My Table
The Hawk Window Seat 6:25pm
We have two sunsets
going on here:
first in The West
where You would expect
to see The Fire
& then in The East
from The Corner Room
where layered grey clouds
are tinged pink
with the throwback
of a diminishing sun
The Hawk Outpost 6:00pm
Look For A Rainbow
See A Smidgen In The Clouds
Catch It In Your Book:
I am watching
the beginnings of a rainbow
reaching higher above
My Kitchen Window
The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:00pm
I come from The Body
of Black Light
In Death & Sickness
I abide
to shine out
for Reconciliation
I am The Stamp
of Desperation —
Humanity gone
awry
in order
to See
The Hawk Corner Room 10:11am
The Spears Of Silver
are across The Sea
created from Light Streaming
Down
The Light makes Rays
Diagonal
Down
into The Lone Streak
along The Horizon
&
onto
Me
