CLOSE-KNIT

The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:10pm

There is safety in talking

about the weather

but not in asking

about the doings of someone new:

“I don’t know the girl —

she writes poetry”

Grand Egyptian by Cambridge

The Hawk En Suit Bath 11:04am

I dried My Head

in a sea of Purple

& looked to see

My Flanks flecked

with galactic lint

or was it the inception

of insects

that I wore?

UPON WAKING EARLY

The Hawk Queen Bed 6:24am

The Sky is aflame

with The Rising Sun

& I have seen multitudinous

stars

at the start

of My Day

YOUR TIME

July 17, 2015 The Hawk Queen Bed 10:00pm

Your Years are like

a possession —

whatever decade you

happen to be in —

Those Years belong

to You

My Longest Cat

MY LOVELY FRIEND

The Hawk Deck 11:30am

I Saw A Star Of Blue

within My Field Of Red

It came behind a thought

as I languished in My Bed

It struck Me of A Friend

so very dear to Me:

She is starkly beautiful

and lives in misery

STAR SET

The Tomato-coloured Couch 8:32pm

I See A Peach-coloured Star

lowering Itself

beneath the wires

sinking into the fog

of the shoreline

It Is My Home Star

“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
