The Tomato-coloured Couch 2:22pm
I have painted
The Sinister Star
It is lying/drying/dying
on My Basement Floor
to be erected
upon My Living Room Wall
where It will rise above Me
as I sit on My Tomato-coloured Couch
writing of Its Existence
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 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 6:46pm
“I Have A Very Simple Message —
It Should Not Be Hard To Grasp:
Man Is God
Is All I’ve Said
&
I
Am
Woman”
