1000 OUNCE RECOGNISED SILVER

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:37am

The Sun is somewhere

behind The Fog

I see the murky Silver

of sky and sea

I see The Price

of Gigantic Bars

fluctuating on

My Computer

Screen

“AND TRY TO PRESERVE”

The Hawk West Desk Window 5:25pm

I learned the word “Sanctuary”

from My Mother

Who had it written

on a weathered shingle

nailed to a tree along

the trail We blazed

to The North East Bluff

of McNutt’s Island —

She wrote a passage below

that word, which,

if My Brother were alive

He would remember

MORNING BREATHER

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:56am

I see the waves breaking

out past My Neighbour’s Barn

The Sky is grey

and I can hear

The Hawk Beach Waves

when I open the kitchen door

to let out a cat

MORNING VIEW

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:51am

I see The Silver Streaks

again

across My Silver Sea

I see The Halos of Light

again

throughout My Lashes

framing My Sight

and signifying

The Day of Good

MORNING REFLECTION

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:12am

I stand in The Warmth

of Silver Sun Light

beaming through My Window —

last night We fought —

or I did —

but got up for coffee

anyway —

and anyway

I’m all right

ACCOMPLISHMENT!!

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:51am

EYE just hit

22 minutes & 22 seconds

on M(EYE) C2

& have come up

to The Hawk Kitchen Outpost

to see M(EYE) Sea

struck in Silver

YAY!!!

“NONE PLANNED”

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:11am

Standing firm in My Mrs Blair

grey sweat suit

from LL Bean

I order My Silver

watching The Shimmering Sea

and wearing no rings —

My Hands are naked

for the induction

of M(EYE) PROPHECY

RESPITE

The Hawk Queen Bed 2:45pm

Here I am on The Hawk Queen Bed

with Hunter, The Cats

and The Birds through the windows —

I can hear The Surf, distantly

and the fog has cleared

leaving rays of light

on My Wadded Up Bathrobe

set aside

EVENING MUSE

Eliza’s Room 8:41pm

Eliza’s Room is full

of peepers, peepers

and waves

and Me next to My Quilt

full of purple Love Rings

and a bed

yet undone

MORNING RITUAL

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:17am

The Sky is Silver

out over a cold grey sea

I have fed My Husband

His Instant Oatmeal

to eat at His Computer

while I am about to consume

My Banana

at The Window

of My Hawk Kitchen Outpost
