MY LIFE

The Hawk Portico 4:45pm

I want to write

My Life Out

in brilliant vibrancy

like the colours

of My Quilt

Purple & Teal

housed now

in a lavender room

by The Sea

(of course)

where I am

happiest

in a red deck chair

on My Front

Stoop

(The Portico)

entertained by amiable neighbours

taken care of

(in case I still need care)

by My

Glowingly Handsome Husband —

let Me write

too

about My Beautiful

Daughter

My Heroic Son

& yes

as the brightest

of all

let Me write

& Write

about My Love

which strings Me along

from water tap

to ocean spray

I drink

from My Glass

named Life

& I live

in Divine

Completeness

I NEED A NEW SYMBOL

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:44pm

I need A New Symbol

for good grace

white pick-ups

don’t cut it any-more

license plates with D’s & V’s

are crumpled down

below My New Acquisition

laying out on Eliza’s bed:

My Boldest Quilt

Stating The Strength Of Colour

Pattern

Handi-work

PROMISE

The Hawk Deck 6:07pm

I have habituated My Self

to picking up My Black Book

& looking inside

while waves sound out

by The Hawk Beach —

I am not a loner

I live with a man

yet I have known

several hearts

I have broken

though One resides with Me

upon which there will be

no desecration

BEDSIDE PRAYER

The Hawk Queen Bed 9:48pm

I Am God

I Am The Only God

I Know

please do not punish Me

for what I think

I think with My Brain

with My Body

& It is the only

Brain & Body

I Know

ARMOUR

The Hawk Queen Bed 9:11pm

I will wrap My Self

in fields of grey

& carry across My Life

a shield

to arm My Self

with all I pray

& treasure close

My Strength

to wield

TAG LINE

The Hawk Queen Bed 10:22pm

I have stood above

My Paintings

cascading colours

like Jackson Pollock

in a filthy studio

yet now I stand

Above The World

to write a message

not of hope

but of COMPASSION

for it is THAT HUMAN TRAIT

We lack

Which has turned Us

upside

down

IN AN INSTANT

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:03pm

My Power

Black Power

boils up in Me

at the drop of a line

in an instant

when I see kids smoking

or when I stand beside

a big black TV screen

& want to make it Silver

It boils up anywhere

anytime

& catches Me

& Anyone around Me

off guard

when My red blood cells

are called into overtime

when My Eyes take in

My surroundings

in an instant

I become strident

authoritative

under My Spell

THE CHICKADEE CALLS

The Hawk Deck 10:22am

It’s A Fine Time For Me

to write of The Religion For One

out here on My Pristine Deck

in The August Morning Sun —

What Can I Tell Of My View

Of The Self?

The Birds How They Cry

for broken hearts

& bombed civilians —

but wait —

NO ONE SHOULD GET BOMBED:

Ours Is An Earth

of exquisite beauty

& must not be marred

by hatred & distrust  —

I Am Here To Settle Out

the chaos

To Re-organize

The Individual Mind

To See Out Its Full Potential

& Have It Believe

in Life

EXERCISE IN PERSONAE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:37pm

1.  Second Coming Of Christ —

immediate result of The Shower Of Silver Lights

aspects:  brilliant light, whiteness (not skin colour),

awakening, worldly vision

2.  The Anti-Christ —

wants to obliterate Christianity —

I don’t want to obliterate

anyone’s religion but I do wonder

what this world would be like

with only One Religion

3.  Black Jesus —

black in colour (not skin colour),

represents compassion,

humanity’s darkness

used in conjunction as opposing element in

The Grand Design Of Our Reconciliation Of Opposites
