"Good Morning, World!"

KEEPING HOUSE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:40pm

My House is My Galaxy —

all the dust, stars

all the cat hairs

the filaments of life

It is lit up

by a future Sun

on the outskirts

of My Dream

& as I clean

I think of infinity

WINTER WALK

The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:58pm

With the last of the lobster quiche

in Me

I muffled My Self

against the beach

to walk My Self

to The Guzzle —

when last I’d sat

upon its barnacled rock

the spread of surging flow

was at My Feet —

today that seat

marked The Guzzle Switch

unreachable

to the other side

STAR MESSAGE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 12:37pm

What is The Significance

of seeing stars

when I bend over

My Kitchen Sink Mat

to pick It up

to shake outside

where the stars of day

cannot be seen?

GOOD MORNING MOON

The Hawk Hallway 8:00am

This Morning I see The Moon

two days from full

sitting in the western sky

setting into a band of pink

and farther into one of blue

She heralds My Day

with Her Emblem of Quietude

as I see Her move

ever so diagonally

below the wires

across My View
