The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:29pm
First & Foremost I am
A Human Being —
I come from the planet Earth
where I made My Self
from the mesh of molten rock
& the salt from endless waves.
I came to My Human Form
through My Mother, primarily
though My Father
gave Her Lie-sense.
I was born into a world
of tumult
@ The Exact Right Time
to become what I am Today:
A Woman Understood
The Hawk Queen Bed 7:36pm
“Where do you find truth?”
he asked just as she walked into
her living room
— she thought she might
make a poem
out of this
but was too
tired

EYE woke this morning
to a sky of white
in the aftermath
of seeing My Halo
for most of yesterday
— I feel worn out
in My Heavy Grey Robe
with the radio overlapping
My Husband’s soccer
“and the shadow of the day
will embrace the world in grey –“*
Linkin Park
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

A Beam Of Silver
Strikes The Ocean
Beyond Our Neighbours’ Yellow House
“And The Reason Is You”
Strikes Me From The Radio
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 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
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.
