The Hawk Kitchen 8:00pm
Purple is The Colour of My Heart
vacated
Silver The Colour of My Jewels —
Red is My Fury
no longer suppressed
These Three Components
sustain Me
now that The Little Man in Black
is Gone
The Hawk Kitchen 6:32pm
I could sit on Our New Kitchen Floor
Indian Style, like a Child
with stretched canvas
in front of Me, flat —
I could puddle The Purple
& get The Metallic Grey, Silver
oozing into The Plum
iridescent
& splotched with Red
from a spray can
liquid & interceding
out of My Lap
The Hawk West Desk Window 11:12am
The Only Remnants
of My Black Possessions
are This Journal, My Pen
My Black Cat Astro
& One Pair of Jet Bead Earrings
Given To Me
By My Mother
