The Hawk Hallway 7:50pm
Is That Child Gone?
The One Who Sat Cross-legged
in Her Kindergarten’s Hallway
unwindowed
practising for a bombing
with Her Head in Her lap?
–
Is She Gone Now, Married
to Her Second Husband, Her Well-loved Doctor
with The Assault on Her Marriage
of A Second Doctor
She feels forced to turn to for eternal preparedness
Practice?

INTRODUCING NEW
DISCIPLINE FOR HUNGRY FAITH:
OLD BREAD FED TO CROWS
The Hawk Kitchen 10:30am
The Food Hamper from Yesterday
has been disassembled
disposed of out on The Grass
for The Gulls & Crows
— They know nothing
of Hell & Damnation
Sin & Salvation —
The Orange I rolled
into The Compost
is
safe
The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:10pm
A Silver Star-spark just crossed My View
as I sat at the computer screen
— passed across My Field of Vision
diagonally from left to right
trailing a dark path
alerting Me
to read
“God Has Called Them All Home”
The West Desk Window 2:45pm

is not just a Candy Cane.

HO HO HO is backwards.
–
What can you think of that’s snowy white
& feels like a weather bomb?
–
What’s an empty, limp stocking
which miraculously gets filled?
–
The colour red means stop —
green means go.
–
What’s a triangular fir tree
next to an open hearth —
and where does that chimney go anyway?
–
A Christmas Wreath, a broken circle, represents a fertilized egg.
–
A baby in a manger —
Jesus was born on the wrong side of the tracks.
