The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:22pm
My Halo is back
visiting Me for half an hour
while I listened
to world financial forecasts
with Hunter
The Hawk Queen Bed 9:00pm
Today I saw
My Silver Aura
skidding across the back
of The Shower stall
I had a talk
with A Doctor Of Optometry
Who stated It
was probably related
to migraine
but I’m to have
A Visual Field Test
& A Field Day
It will be
Highway 103, NS NOON
Before Bed
I take a selection
of pills
— ten to be exact —
some for My Body
some for My Mind
They restore My Sleep
but rob Me of My Dreams
and so now I have an aura
accompanying My Vision
when I exit
The Shower
in Day Light
Oh Luminous Cloud —
am I the only One Who sees You?
I watched Your Golden Aura fade
& then The Moon peeked out
from underneath
Your Grey Companions
