The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 3:51pm
My Outpost Window
is open to The Sea
screened against
moths & bugs I see
The Ocean framed
by The Upright Rectangle
of sliding glass
pushed up & open
to afford My Dream
treasured with The Song
of Birds
The Tomato-coloured Couch 5:30pm
I have had a love affair
with a diamond ring —
well, with its Inclusion —
I nestled It, The Pale Arrow
in the crook of My Arm
for weeks it seemed
until today when I put it, the ring
back in its blue box
for that day
when I need again
to feel perfection
symbolized in The Distorted Gleam
The Hawk Kitchen 2:19pm
I am seeing The Colours
of Flaming June*
out on the highway
in scraps of florescent rope
in the roses and carnations from My Children
in My Frying Pan
of green and orange peppers
and in My Cold Weather Wear
warning of My Existence
*Frederic Leighton 1895
The Hawk Corner Room 4:49pm
My Mother’s Death
is My Inclusion
It’s The Hazy Arrow
through The Heart of Me
surrounded by The Glitter
of Ideal Love
& perfect symmetry
Marked
The Hawk Corner Room 10:38am
The Haze over The Sun
affords a pristine view
of the watery sparkles
splayed out across
My Precious Horizon
as I sit in The Lotus
Position & think
of My Friends & Lovers
The Hawk Kitchen 8:56pm
I’mma keepin’ M’Diamond
wiv Its Cloudy Arrow
I know It’s Mine
for All My Time
I know which side It fits
& I Love It like
It’s goin’ outta style
*Joy Division — Ian Curtis (1979)
The Hawk Queen Bed 8:53pm
My Husband threw a splash
of diamonds upon
My Upright Hand
& yesterday My Birthright
Honour found Its way
across My Clasp
The Tomato-coloured Couch 7:07pm
Against a background
of Darkness
We see The Particles of Space
coalesce
spiralling together
uniting two illuminated Human Beings
against a World
of Chaos
The Hawk Kitchen 12:12pm
I am The Little
Second Coming of Christ
wearing My Galaxy Underpants
cleaning cat hairs off
The Tomato-coloured Couch
I Am Here & Everywhere
re-defining God, Jesus
& The World
half-dressed
