"Good Morning, World!"

Month: November, 2015

HUNTER’S BIRTHDAY

Clyde River, Nova Scotia 2:22pm

I pulled only half-way

off the road on Cape Island

to watch the biggest cloud

of Starlings I had ever seen –

they swooped, as a blanket

over my car & billowed

into a bare tree, decking it

with their blackness, leaf-like

& when they exploded

like fireworks

to mat themselves on overhead wires

I was entranced

 

MY MORNING 2

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:22am

A Beam Of Silver

Strikes The Ocean

Beyond Our Neighbours’ Yellow House

“And The Reason Is You”

Strikes Me From The Radio

MY MORNING

The Hawk Dining Room 7:56am

The Sun Streams

Its Way Down

To The Ocean

In Trapezoidal Sections

Through The Mottled

Water-colour Sky

THE SUN RISES BEHIND CLOUDS & BEAMS ITS WAY THROUGH THEM

The Hawk Corner Room 7:11am

I got up to see

The Sun Rise

over This World O’ Mine

& over the criticism

of This Daughter O’ Mine

Who Ain’t Seen Nothin’

yet

NEWS FLASH

The Hawk Computer 6:04 pm

My Husband, Dr William Hunter Blair, now believes

that My World Trade Center Roof Top Painting from 1984

titled Self Organizing Galaxy

may have given someone the idea

for 9/11

Self Organizing Galaxy by Joanna Hyde

NOTICE TO MY READERS 222

EYE have not been writing much —

EYE have been making recordings into M(EYE) cell phone

in-which M(EYE) Husband does not seem very interested.

M(EYE) VOICE HAS REACHED NIGERIA

This is M(EYE) 2,000th Post

and EYE have reached The Heart of Planet Earth —

EYE have reached Africa where EYE spent the first year of M(EYE) Life

in Gabon

and was held in the arms of the original Great White Doctor, Albert Schweitzer.

WHAT’S GOIN’ ON AROUND HERE?

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 12:50pm

Why Have EYE

got to call M(EYE) SELF

The God-damn 2nd

Coming

in order to get

Attention from

Powerful White Men??

They Can Go Fuck

Them Selves!!

M(EYE) HUSBAND THINKS EYE SHOULDN’T USE EYE ANYMORE

The Hawk Laundry Room 9:36am

EYE’ve swept up another Galaxy

with both M(EYE) Hands

against the white background

of M(EYE) dryer top

It consisted, EYE guess

of lint & cat hairs

& maybe a grain or two of sand

from Somebody’s Old Beach Towel

IN THE ELEVENTH HOUR

The Hawk Queen Bed 7:55am

Last Night EYE had a heated

discussion

with M(EYE) Husband

as to whether EYE am

The Messiah —

He said that is a Jewish concept

& that We are all

The Second Coming of Christ —

so that’s what EYE’m sticking to —

The Second Coming of Christ

like EYE was told —

like EYE told M(EYE) Self

under M(EYE) Shower of Lights
