M(eye) Pair
came back this morning

Gully’s Little White Bowl
of scraps of ham & sausage
leftover from Hungry Man Breakfasts
w a friend 3 days ago.
I witnessed
M(eye) New Gully
delivering pieces by beak
2 His Princess, His Mate
(unless She is His grown offspring
from last year —
butt I doubt it)
& when The Show was over
off They flew.

Last Night I saw The Shadow
of My House, tall
over the spread of scrub spruce
behind My Back Yard
& was thankful for The Cobalt Sea

This Morning The Sea is Silver

& I am 1 Storey Higher
looking out
over M(eye) Pure Expanse

6:47 am
Eye have seen
the Moon cloaked
in Scattered Silver Streaks
traversing the width
of My Bedroom Window
as Eye lay in darkness
under covers of quilted bedding
relaxing in My State
of visionary reward
Eye sit beside a stormy sea
anchored by my cup of tea
Alone I am — butt Eye don’t care
for now my world is free
*written several years ago. Found in my drafts.

of God, within & external 2
M(eye) Mind
& It is The Light of The World,
This Earth, Our World —
other worlds may find their way
here or there
butt M(eye) Light
M(eye) Eternal Light
will shine 2 The Farthest Reaches
of Our Planet
& cloak The Moon
in Silver.

My Mother’s Loss
The Loss of My Mother
was M(eye) Greatest Gain:
Her Cremation precipitated
by The Visitation
of The Dear Little Chickadee
embodying Her Spirit
precipitated My 4 Days
of No Sleep
leading 2 The Glory
of M(eye) Shower of Silver Lights —
THE Experience Never 2 B TOPPED
or STOPPED
leaving Me
M(eye) Own Person
shared spiritually
by The One Man
Who saw It Coming.
