EYE SLEPT IN ELIZA’S ROOM

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:04am

A thin streak of yellow

lines the horizon

My Husband is sick

& doesn’t want coffee

I’ve poured My Self a cup of tea

M(EYE) BODY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 4:15pm

will be emblazoned

with underlining of Red

A Black Exclamation Mark

with The Point

a star

of glitter

against a dripping Swamp Green

from paint

in M(EYE) Basement

EYE AM A CONJUROR

Eliza’s Room 9:30pm

I re-lit the night light

in My Daughter’s Bathroom

merely by taking it out of its plug

which apparently wasn’t working —

when I put the plastic fixture back in

EYE had Light

CLEANLINESS

The Tomato-coloured Couch 12:22pm

After My Shower

I reached for A Star

floating mid-way

between My Cathedral Ceiling

& The Damnable Floor

I jumped with My Left Arm up

scared a cat

& missed

& had to resort

to the dust

mop

EYE AM NO APRIL FOOL

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 10:38am

I row to Trance Electronic

Trance Tremors Radio Stream

downstairs in My Exercise Room

&  each time I finish one session:

5,000 metres

3,000 metres

2,000 metres

I pull My Self

along The Staircase

back up into

90’s On 9
