"Good Morning, World!"

PICTURE WINDOW

The Hawk Corner Room 5:14pm

Today The Ocean

went from Blue

to Grey

& I sat above It

to contemplate

My Self —

& do You know what

I discovered?

That with My Husband

reading War & Peace

beside Me

I can say anything

in The World

& be heard

PHALLUS

The Hawk Corner Room, Halo Book

Seated In The Lotus

Position

I Feel A Man’s Tongue

Inside My Mouth

My Teeth Outline

His Length

His Motion

His Girth

LETHAL

The Hawk Corner Room 12:56pm

Dressed in My Black Negligee

I carry the weight

of My Question Mark Ring

in The Mirror a bird

Black Wings outstretched

looks at Me

to see if I Am

Alive

EASTER

The Hawk Kitchen 12:12pm

I am The Little

Second Coming of Christ

wearing My Galaxy Underpants

cleaning cat hairs off

The Tomato-coloured Couch

I Am Here & Everywhere

re-defining God, Jesus

& The World

half-dressed

SILVER SONG 2

The Hawk Outpost 9:05am

Bathed in Silver

in perpetuity

The Sun is warm

& no longer Golden

I stand —

one knee up —

at My Kitchen Outpost

to absorb

the light

off The Ocean

of My Existence
