First & Foremost I am
A Human Being —
I come from the planet Earth
where I made My Self
from the mesh of molten rock
& the salt from endless waves.
I came to My Human Form
through My Mother, primarily
though My Father
gave Her Lie-sense.
I was born into a world
of tumult
@ The Exact Right Time
to become what I am Today:
A Woman Understood
Clyde River, Nova Scotia 2:22pm
I pulled only half-way
off the road on Cape Island
to watch the biggest cloud
of Starlings I had ever seen –
they swooped, as a blanket
over my car & billowed
into a bare tree, decking it
with their blackness, leaf-like
& when they exploded
like fireworks
to mat themselves on overhead wires
I was entranced

The Hawk Kitchen 6:00pm
To the sound of Twelve Gongs of Midnight
Cinderella had to flee The Arms
of Her Prince
losing Her Gown, Her Carriage, Her Horses
& a Tiny Glass Slipper which remained
intact
The Prince found The Tiny Glass Slipper
found Cinderella
& accepted Her, dressed or undressed
as The Woman of His Heart
