In The Briefest Moment

I Saw The Spiral

Of A Particle Of Dust

Against The Black Of My Cell Phone

And Suddenly Understood

The Necessity Of FORM

Before My Breath

Took It Away

WE LEAVE OUR PRINCESSES

We leave our Princesses

trapped in Their Towers

no matter what F. Scott Fitzgerald said

to His Wife-to-Be

ninety-one years ago

I am still Towered

but not scared – only mad

deciding not to invite

the few friends I have

to see My Castle

on The Sea Shore

with My Husband @ work

while I lie on The Couch

9:11 am

You’re Going To Write & Take Care of This House”

I will be Under – stood

as I Stand within “the Mists of Time”

as The Houses sit with skirting mist

wafting off The Frost

hovering below The Tree Line

I see The Silver out there
in lateral striations over The Ocean —
It must be apprehended, reigned in
not just by Me – through Me

Let Me Look @ It Again

when The Silver first came
in The Shower of Lights
I was stultified, stupefied
forced to call on Christ

now I see It Here
in My Life’s surroundings
so Christ must call
on Me

WHAT DID THAT BLACK OPRAH DRESS REPRESENT?

Jackie Blair's avatarJackie Blair

 That “O” Dress
Black Robe
styled from the 50’s
told Me I was powerful —
one of the most powerful women
on the planet —
if not THE most powerful —
My Anger, My Fury,
was justified —
In That Dress
I was The Black Jesus
ready to allow My Self
entrance
into a Mental Hospital
for The Sake of My Person (et al)
Beliefs

 I drank from a very large beaker
sweet Red Wine
called XOXOX
I crossed My Legs
and beat My Right Silver Slipper
into the evening air

 I wore gobs & gobs of silver
jewelry
— all that I owned —
but had the worth of one real estate transaction
under my belt
BOY WAS I MAD —
I shot off the centre
of My Tomato-coloured couch
& stomped around The House
heckling
cackling
&
swearing up
&
down

 I demanded to be taken out to…

tonight My Daughter

Made Me Up

using a combination

of Her Make Up

& Mine

 

I wore My Mother’s Amber Necklace

as My Daughter worked

My Face

She moved around Me

like a Sprite

laying out Her Blush, Powder & Pencils

allowing Me to choose

which Lipstick

as the Final Application

to The Body

Who Made Her

Up

Conversation

Jackie Blair's avatarJackie Blair

“Is He Internal or External?”

“He is Both.”

“And when I hear a Song On The Radio – what is He then?”

“Then He is God.”

“But is not God within Me?”

“Yes, He is Internal & External – what You hear is the same.

“What I hear comes through Me –”

“Yes, without You there would be No Song.”

“Without Me There Would Be No God?”

Premise

Jackie Blair's avatarJackie Blair

One day long long ago

in a land far far away,

a princess made a Bed

for Satan, out of Satin,

So Said She –It was rimmed

with feathers – white – a boa

and buried inside deep

a coal-black seed of smooth

round ball, sunk inside

deep the sheet – that seed

She sees for now is SHE.
