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
The Hawk Corner Room 1:10pm
My Bed is laid
with The Quilt of Purple Ripples
under an array
of framed memorabilia
in Eliza’s Room
while She is away
messing about in boats
The Hawk Portico 4:45pm
I want to write
My Life Out
in brilliant vibrancy
like the colours
of My Quilt
Purple & Teal
housed now
in a lavender room
by The Sea
(of course)
where I am
happiest
in a red deck chair
on My Front
Stoop
(The Portico)
entertained by amiable neighbours
taken care of
(in case I still need care)
by My
Glowingly Handsome Husband —
let Me write
too
about My Beautiful
Daughter
My Heroic Son
& yes
as the brightest
of all
let Me write
& Write
about My Love
which strings Me along
from water tap
to ocean spray
I drink
from My Glass
named Life
& I live
in Divine
Completeness
The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:44pm
I need A New Symbol
for good grace
white pick-ups
don’t cut it any-more
license plates with D’s & V’s
are crumpled down
below My New Acquisition
laying out on Eliza’s bed:
My Boldest Quilt
Stating The Strength Of Colour
Pattern
Handi-work
