"Good Morning, World!"

THE HAWK PORTICO 5:30pm

I was Thanked Today

by God of All People

bobbing slightly on a Balloon String

above the Cashier @ Sobey’s

I believe The Thank You

was for My Successful Effort

to encrypt His Silver Star

or Mine

upon the face of a vacant rock

offering Space

to a smattering of Lichen

DISAPPEARANCE

     I Stared Death In The Face


& It Was A Black & White Face

We don’t know what anything is anymore,

except by what it is in relation

to something else

The Clock Has Stopped

@ Midnight

& The Chickadee’s Crown Is Black
