The Hawk Queen Bed 8:45am
Last Night I slept
with the window opened a crack
to let in a nip of Spring
This Morning
and the first song
of birds
The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:00pm
My Back Was To Him
His Fingers Cut A Loose Thread
Dangling From My Hem
The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:22pm
Shower Me
with
Silver
&
I will tell You
All My Secrets
I can answer
any Question
I can see
with X-ray Vision
You Will Know Me
for All I Am
You Will Know
that I Am
Everything
&
You will want Me
Home
The Hawk Kitchen 6:30
I AM A WOMAN
with thick curly hair
blond in The Sun
I live on The South West Shore
of Nova Scotia
I have a 22 lb Black Cat
I Love
I Love The World
I Love My Self
I Love My Husbands
I Love My Telepathic Partner
I Love My Children
ALL THREE OF THEM
March 30th The Hawk Kitchen 6:17pm
I Will Shine
In Those Flashing Lights
Against A Background
Of Chaos
March 31st 2015 The Hawk Kitchen 8:25am
There is My Silver
Message!
Streaking Its Light
to Me on My Morning
of This, The 22nd
Anniversary
of My Shower of Silver Lights
I AM ONE
The Hawk Kitchen 8:20am
The Glare
of
Silver fills
My Hawk Outpost
Window
beaming out to Me
I stare
& see the afterglow
of
familiar lime green
when I
blink
The Hawk Corner Room 11:02am
How must I write
of the peacefulness
of The Morning —
under the snow
— last for spring —
under brilliant sun
shining its silver
off the sea
I will not row
today
The Hawk En-suite Bath 7:30pm
In My Floor-length
Mirror
I strike an imposing figure
sealed in grey
layers
Silver Chains
I am the correct weight
for a Woman My Height
which is tall
as My Lacquered Hands
will reach
With These Hands
gilded in Gold
I reach for The Sun
never to forget The Moon
I observe The Stars
— The People —
living & dying
forever on
Our Earth
