PROPHETIC READING “THE SCRIPT” BY JOANNA GILMAN HYDE

POWER PLAY

My Brother Howard’s Birthday, The Hawk Portico 3:05pm

I ain’t playin’

when I see that Brinks

armoured truck runnin’ grey along

the front windows of Sobey’s

I ain’t playin’

when I feel a surge in My Heart

when I see them bullet-proof men

stagin’ them bags of money —

I gots Mine –

I’m safe

MORNING APPROACH

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:59am

Silver on The Water

Silver in The Sky

The Thermometer is low

The End is (nearly*) Nigh

I am wide awake

The Coffee Pot is on

I have My House full of guests

ungrateful for The Dawn

*redundancy

“HOW’S IT GOIN’?”

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:28pm

“Hi Joanna — what U doin’ Today?”

“Imma Usherin’ in The New Age.”

“The New Age of What?”

“The New Age of Silver –what else?”

“How U doin’ that?”

“With how I deck My Body

& how I deck My Mind.”

“What d’ya mean?”

“My Mind is My Body

& My Jewels are My Accent.”

SPACE DIARY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:41pm

I am a Star Traveller

rigged out with My Silver Wrists

& stretch pants, grey —

I will fly with My Life’s Companion

& leave My Big Black Scare-dee Cat, Astro

behind —

so I’ll come

Home

ONCE UPON A TIME

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 12:50pm

The White Man Came

upon Indian (Native) soil

& took possession

with trinkets & knives

& drink

from another land

to stake a claim

to the ruination

of Fundamental

Humanity

FLY MAGIC

The Hawk Dining Room 1:11pm

EYE have just seen

the most extraordinary thing

against M(EYE) Dining Room

window pane EYE saw

Two House FL(EYE)S

apparently mating

& when They separated

One remained & pulsated

a penis?

& extruded a spot of clear serum

upon the glass

EYE had just cleaned

this morning

TRANSLUCENCY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:22pm

Lime-green bug

in Your See-thru wings

when first I saw Your Underside

You were pale yellow

against My Window —

what r u trying to tell Me?

I went outside

to touch You very carefully —

You took to My Hand

& flew

ARMED & DANGEROUS

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:29pm

Armed with a blunted bread knife

clutched right-handed

I have baked My Last Cake

& am about to survive

outside My Kitchen Haven

deep inside the lands of dispute

& vocalization of the state

of Our Laws & Morality

Dignity & Human Endeavor

NIGHT LIGHT

The Hawk Queen Bed 9:11pm

The Colour of Moonlight

fell on My Head

The Colour of Moonlight

made sure I was dead

inside My Mind

My Faith It was changed

to see My Self First

My Plans were arranged

to live out My Life

attached to One Sprite

That Light has stayed with Me

even @ Night
