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

PSYCHOSIS ANYONE?

The Hawk Living Room 5:49pm

If I Were Catatonic

I Would Be Dangerous

If I Could Speak

I Would Slay With A Line

I Could Squelch

With A Paragraph

I Wouldn’t Eat

I Would Sit In Any Chair

& Stare At My Mind

& Become Black Jesus

The Anti-Christ

A Witch With Short Hair

 

SONG FOR MOTHER & DAUGHTER

August 6th,The Hawk Window Seat 11:07am

This Morning I Stood

At The Sliding Glass Door

Listening To The Waves

& The Insistence Of A Chickadee

But I Was Pulled Away

By The Concerns Of My Daughter

Making Her Way To College

August 7th, The Hawk Window Seat 11:04am

Last Night I Scared Eliza

Trying To Describe Our Shift

To The Left, To The East

Picturing My Self Standing

In The Atlantic

Facing South

With The West To My Right

The East To My Left

& The Mona Lisa

Has A Surprise

Under Her Left Hand

 

 

 

 

 

 

DREAM # 22

The Hawk Kitchen 1:22am

I Have Risen From The Dream

Of My Mother’s Cure

Of Her Malignant Brain Tumour —

In The Dream I Befriended

Her Doctor

With Whom I Had Had

A Strained Relationship

Since The Day He Examined

My Back

When I Was Wearing A Black Bra

WOMEN IN BLACK

The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:00pm

They are The Nuns of The Night

putting on Their Alien Lamp

with a wave of A Purple Latex Glove

taking care of My Dentifrice

humming a Serena Ryder tune

GORILLA WOMAN

The Hawk Basement 1:00pm

Last night I dreamt

of a Gorilla Woman

Who could not speak

being “cared for” by a man

Who had fathered two young girls

by another woman

and The Gorilla Woman

was Their Foster Mother —

first Her Face was a Gorilla Face

then She turned into An Old Human

wearing Old Lady Clothes
