The Hawk West Desk Window 10:00am
The Seed of Black Jesus
is nestled inside
the satin folds of My White Womb
I am in Partnership
We give no credence
to satan
The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:30pm
Black Jesus is My Super Persona
He can be Me anywhere
any time
He guards Me & speaks out
socially
He wears black
& silver
& sees in The Night
He’s linked with The 2nd Coming
flip side
dark vs light
19 years ago I was The 2nd Coming of Christ
Today I Am Super Black Jesus

The Hawk Kitchen 2:52pm
Black Jesus was busy today
in Her Black Jesus Kitchen
She cooked peppers that were going bad
–for spaghetti sauce–
macaroni for Eliza & Tyler
when They get back from Their first night
on The Island
Shepherd’s Pie with corned beef
from The Hawk Basement
She listened to Her Black Jesus Radio
& drank Her Black Jesus Tea
–She was busy all right–
She even did two loads of laundry
still hanging
on Her Black Jesus
Line
That Fly on My Finger —
He’s not scared of Me
& look — how big am I?
–
I’m not scared of The Universe —
It’s been squashed down into Human proportions
inside My Mind
at The Tip of My Finger
