The Hawk Living Room 5:00pm
The Shower Of Silver Lights*
has found a home
bounced off
The Fuchsia Tumour
which has been rejected
( It deadened The Tomato-coloured Couch)
The Shower Of Silver Lights
will be stretched properly
& mounted on
a 2-storey wall
of Its own
*changed name to My Black Star
The Hawk Living Room 2:22pm
There Is No Room At The Inn
for The Shower
of Silver Lights
It/They will remain
in My Mind
colouring
My Every Action
with the onslaught
of garish vibrancy
un-accommodated
by My Cathedral Ceiling
from whence
It/They
came
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
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
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
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
Tonight Marks The Thirtieth Anniversary
of The Signing of
Thank You For Watching
The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:35pm
I am in the psychiatric unit
of My Mind
sitting on a vinyl couch
waiting for the day to end
waiting for supper @ 4:00
making My twenty-fifth cup of tea
but in My Reality
I am BACK — on MY COUCH
tomato-coloured
with My Big Black Panther
at My Feet
& potato salad
in the fridge
The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:22pm
There is Divine Logic
in All that happens
& It wouldn’t happen
otherwise
The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:19pm
My Mother’s Brain Tumour
is dying
on the basement floor
is soon to be
enveloped by
perhaps a silver heart
but
the “roots”
will
survive
