The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 5:00pm
I grip My Glass
My Life Glass
pushing It hard against
My Ice Dispenser
filling It with frozen crescents
I carry My Frosted Glass
to the sink faucet
filling It with Water
I drink The Essence
of Life
&
Live
The Hawk West Desk Window 11:30am
Every Morning I Am
A Woman Of Ritual
I Wake To Open The Blinds
Re-fill The Kitties’ Water Dish
And Drink From My Fridge Spigot
The First Of Many Glasses
Marked “LIFE”
–
I Log My Self Organizing Galaxy Views
At 9:11
Or 10:22
I Row For 22 Minutes And 22 Seconds
On My C2 Indoor Rowing Machine
And Then I Take
**My Shower**
The Literal Transformation
Of My Shower Of Silver Lights
