The Sacred Heart

The Bon Jovi Heart

The Silver Lights

violent

immovable

immortalized

beyond Me

PRIVATE PICTURE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:30pm

Here I sit

in Nova Scotia

Land O’ My Dreams

with the salt fog

wafting past My Living Room

Window

My Husband has joined Me

on The Tomato-coloured Couch

where I often write

to avail My Self

of every opportunity

here in seclusion

to realize

My Public Life

ELEMENTAL

The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:11pm

I Am The Lady In Black

and charcoal grey

Who likes to write

about Her Self

as The Transformation

The Growth

from a thirty-something

mental patient

badly misunderstood

tortuously disbelieved

turned

Figure

Of Prominence

in Her Local Community

and about to hit

at 54

BLACK LIGHT 2

The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:00pm

I come from The Body

of Black Light

In Death & Sickness

I abide

to shine out

for Reconciliation

I am The Stamp

of Desperation —

Humanity gone

awry

in order

to See

I AM TRULY HAPPY

The Hawk Deck 11:22am

I have succeeded

in painting out

The Shower Of Silver Lights

They will stream forth

from the wall above

My Tomato-coloured Couch

& They Will Be Divine

DAY 2

The Hawk Basement 10:22am

Emanating from The Spears

of black & silver

Light

I have applied

an edge of lurid green

to My Purple Heart

 

CANVAS REPORT

The Hawk Portico 1:53pm

I want to reign in

The Shower Of Lights

consolidate Them

into a pattern

rather than a room

full of light

I want to make Them

an Emblem

a Signature

of The Divine

TODAY’S CANVAS

The Hawk Portico NOON

I am dressed to paint

My Killer Lines

of Dagger Points

in My Black Lace Bra

& Black Jesus Underwear

I hear The Chickadee’s

approval

before I begin

I just have to draw

The Silver Blades

out
