The Hawk Slipper Chair
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.

Eye have beheld The Light
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.

illuminating what’s left
of The Scraggly Apple

dangling from M(eye) Eastern Window
glinting w drops of drizzle

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.

Today is not even my birthday —
Oh butt It is!!
Yet I awoke
2 dazzling rainbow glitter
as the only colouration
in this newest of Air B&B’s
I stayed in w Eliza.
Eye will wear M(eye) Silver Dress
in celebration of The 33rd Anniversary
of The Shower of Silver Lights
which befell Me
that fatefull afternoon
4 days after M(eye) Mother’s Death
on this very day in 1993
& Eye will spend This Day in Grace.

Today I caught The Sun
rising
suddenly above
M(eye) Atlantic View
Tonight I am watching
The Sun sink
slowly below
The Northern Tip of The Cape
blending
into M(eye) Western View

Eye drink in The Milk
The Cream of Human Kindness
where Eye live —
I can dance In Public
dressed 2 The 9’s
& have The Town Clerk
wrap Her Arms around Me
& give Me
an unexpected Kiss

The Hawk Queen Bed
almost 3:00 am
There sat a heavy cut glass bowl
trimmed in Silver
on a glass shelf
@ The Salvation Army
butt I didn’t buy It —
Its weight would be suitable
for a deep chiffon
I’ve never made.
Think I will drive back
2 Yarmouth
2 see if It’s still there.
