The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:00pm
I come from The Body
of Black Light
In Death & Sickness
I abide
to shine out
for Reconciliation
I am The Stamp
of Desperation —
Humanity gone
awry
in order
to See
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 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
The Tomato-coloured Couch 6:19pm
My Mother’s Brain Tumour
is dying
on the basement floor
is soon to be
enveloped by
perhaps a silver heart
but
the “roots”
will
survive
The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:00pm
On This Day in 1991
I was told My Mother wouldn’t live
through the spring
I vowed to My Self
I would not feel the pain
of Her Loss
I kept My Vow
The Hawk Dining Room 6:22pm
I Am Setting The Table
for 2
coming out of disaster
to abide Together
after the flack & flap
subside —
I Am Setting The Table
for The Feast Of Love
& no one is invited —
or is The World?
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”
