Dilemma

Eye asked Dr Schweitzer

if I should have

“Two” X Husbands

and Eye answered

My Self:

ONE is bad enough.

SILVER AURA

The Tomato-coloured Couch 3:00pm

I stood in a corner

beside The Photograph

of Dr Schweitzer holding Me

& chanted out for The World to witness

“I Stand For Silver”

“I Stand For Silver”

“I Stand — For Silver”

I chanted & chanted

until I could chant

no more

& became The Petulant Child —

now there lies

a cat

where My Feet were planted

THE EVOCATION OF MY MOTHER

The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:18pm

In My First Year

She took Me to Africa to meet Dr Schweitzer

for Him to hold Me

forever in a black and white photograph

hanging here in My Dining Room —

how could He have known

I would have The Shower Of Silver

Blades Of Light

which would turn Me

into What I am

Today:

A Woman Who Wishes

Only The Best

For This New World?
