The Hawk Kitchen 2:19pm
I am seeing The Colours
of Flaming June*
out on the highway
in scraps of florescent rope
in the roses and carnations from My Children
in My Frying Pan
of green and orange peppers
and in My Cold Weather Wear
warning of My Existence
*Frederic Leighton 1895
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:09pm
The Sky looks painted tonight
like a scenic background
for a movie about
The Occupants of a house
on a rolling seaside
& how They all
fell in love
one by one
with Each Other
& then with
Themselves
The Hawk Corner Room 10:38am
The Haze over The Sun
affords a pristine view
of the watery sparkles
splayed out across
My Precious Horizon
as I sit in The Lotus
Position & think
of My Friends & Lovers
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 5:20pm
When I see a quiet wave
break
from a dark blue swell
into a white ridge of foam
gliding along the rocky shore
I think of the arms
of Our Galaxy
cradling
All We Are
Our Lives
Our God
The Hawk Queen Bed 8:55pm
I have a window by My Bed
which lets The Whole World In
across the sonorous waves
of multitudinous peeps
the tourist cars arrive
to watch the deer
and the air of cool spring
seeps in
so soothing to a relative
from Florida
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 1:55pm
I feed upon The View
before Me
and after Me
I will be embedded
in The Face, The Blue Face
of The Earth
as I gaze over
Its expanse
My Horizon
chewed to The Core
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:49am
The Sky to The East
is molten Silver
& to The West
as I wake
Sun lays Itself
across The Undulating Cape
illuminating
My Day After
The Acquisition
of My Silver Halo
Ring
The Hawk Queen Bed 8:15am
The Shock of Silver
is with Me still
when I see
a band across The Sea
I think of My March 31st
Shower
22 years ago
& how It’s brought Me
to Sanctuary
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:46am
along The Grey Horizon
I see a single streak
of Silver
behind Our Neighbour’s
leafless tree
with the gradual motion
of linear clouds
My Line gets washed away
then reforms
to complete
My Fullest View
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:21am
I See Silver
On The Ocean
‘neath An Opalescent Sky
One Fishing Boat
Sits Along The Horizon
A Gull & Crow
& Smaller Fry
Fly By
& By
