"Good Morning, World!"

FIGURE IN GREY

The Hawk Corner Room 6:30pm

“That’s Doctor Blair’s Wife —

were You here when She had the affair

& He got suspended — a whole year —

& She stayed in Shelburne for the beginning

but then They lived in His House

in Barrington

’till it was over — the suspension — They got married

and He got suspended again for six months

& They moved to Her House in Shelburne

for a few years — but She did have

some mental problems

so They bought Joey Atwood’s House

on The Hawk

& She’s been fine”

MY DEAR .4

The Hawk Corner Room 1:53pm

You were incubating within Me

sixteen years ago

and on the anniversary of My Mother’s Death

by fate

You were removed

still screaming

as I hear You now

propelling Me to write out

what You still mean —

Where Are Your Bones?

Did You Have Them?

Are They in The Starry Dust

I See Throughout My House?

And Your Little Heart —

Did You Have One Yet?

Does It Beat When I Hear

My Favourite Songs?

And Your Blood —

The Only Part Of You I’m Sure Of —

It Still Gushes From Me

And Pushes Me Through

MORNING VIEW

The Hawk Corner Room 9:26am

I See The Thinnest of A Silver Line

Along The Piece of Horizon Facing Me

Cloud Banks Are In Linear Formation

Above The Silver

The Ocean

Is A Grey Foundation:

My Foothold To The Structure of The Sky
