SILVER DITTY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:27am

Silver streaks the water and sky

I have dreamt of a lullaby

The Sun is like a pearl of cloud

caught enmeshed in the ocean’s shroud

All I want is within My Reach

a home on the shores

of a magnificent beach

Content am I to be here with My Love

of pets, of place, of men above

I am not alone, I am free to say

whatever Truth may come today

Yes, The Silver Streaks are My Guide

I will shoulder Their Eminence

for The Song of My Life

VITALIZATION

The Hawk Deck 10:22am

Every Wave that crashes

goes through Me like a shot

invigorating My Cell Collection

so that I may never stop

They form the background

for The Birds Who sing

all My Favourite Songs

Together Our Surf & Flight

compel Me to belong

FORMATION

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 5:38pm

I am going to be taught to knit

A Shield Of Honour

carried out by A Big Black X

across the length X width

with a reflective grey diamond

in the center

& A Red Eye

glaring out

like A Serpent’s

Pupil

NAME IT

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 2:22pm

When I was 23

I saw My Name In Lights

— Red Ones —

@ The World Trade Center

I see It now

— In Silver —

as Those Silver Spears

have forked Me

INFANT HAIKU

June 18, 2015 The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:52pm

abandoned on shore

sandy pink sucky thing — dropped

detritus of youth

IT GOES:

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:00am

Outpost Window

Deck

Dewy Grass

Bamboo Hedge

Misty Scrub Spruce

Blinding Silver

Wispy Sky

After-image

in The Blink

of Florescent Green

GET IT?

June 15, 2015 The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:51pm

The Gulls are glinting

in The Longest Sun

& I have written

of My Longest Psalm

He is not to expect

what arrived ago

by a magic number

I now forego

RESCUE?

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 4:13pm

legions of mosquitoes

have swarmed into the broken webbing

of yesterday

catching themselves, in some cases

one upon the other

still alive

& how I wonder

can their scrambling efforts be

for each other?

WE NEED A WORLD WIDE 9/11

The Hawk Kitchen 3:40pm

Where will I go

with My Halo

solidified in the frantic spinning

of a wind-blown insect

dangling off a disheveled spider web —

to give forth

The “Wake Up”

Call?

FEROCITY

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:06am

Oh how I want to knead

a double weave of lavender

& green —

I want so badly

to meld a shield

of diamond coloured star

in My Center

Oh how I want to paint

the emblematic Silver

of My Center

My Big Black X

so I could make a pair

to My Black Star
