AS EYE SEE

The Tomato-coloured Couch 4:30pm

EYE opened My Napping EYES

to a sky of Gold

to The Mapping of My World

plain as candy

spun sugar

held by little children

unguided

MORNING RITE

The Hawk Window Seat 9:05am

EYE can see

The Silver

from My Bedroom Window

as  look out

from My Window Seat

the tub is running

for My Doctor/Husband

My Dress Up Doll

I am drinking coffee

watching The World

come undone

 

 

MY TREE CANNOT BE TURNED UPSIDE DOWN

The Tomato-coloured Couch 9:45am

Armed with My Arsenal

of X-Miss Tree ornaments

— 13 silver birds from Wilson’s —

— black balls from Walmart

EYE spent twelve hours

trimming

& having fun

to complete My Play

from a table pedestal up

rooted

to The Silver Star strungDSCF0675.JPG

EYE GOT M(EYE) TREE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 4:11pm

Bow-sawed and dragged

from The Scrub Spruce Forest Bog

I got M(EYE) Tree

but It wouldn’t fit

down the hall

to Come To Life

in The TV Room —

It’s laying on The Hawk Living Room Floor

dead as a doornail

& I had a Devil of a Time

getting It in

— severed one limb —

so far The Cats

are ignoring It

Spanish Moss & all

 

GREETING

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 5:55pm

The Moon said Hello

to Me as soon as I looked

He lit up My Clouds

DAISIES IN NOVEMBER

The Hawk Kitchen 3:00pm

Bundled against the brazen squall of snow

Eye am stumped

after perusing over the roots —

root stems from The Drowned Forest

looking for branching sections

to string together somehow

like a spine

of bare limbs to make

an ad hoc

X-Miss Bush

My Own

this year — a dead array

for perhaps the cats

to climb — to hang

13 silver birds & even more plastic snow flakes

to deck the TV Room

with the barren interlocking

drift wood

stumps

which can only be piled, tangled

(not constructed / not drilled)

into a vertical heap

(very un-tree-like)

instead Eye will have to pinch

a dead spruce, whole

from beyond My Back Yard

& set it, bolt upright

in a front window

THE EIGHTH ANNIVERSARY OF MY BROTHER’S DEATH

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 8:29pm

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

MY MORNING 2

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:22am

A Beam Of Silver

Strikes The Ocean

Beyond Our Neighbours’ Yellow House

“And The Reason Is You”

Strikes Me From The Radio

NEWS FLASH

The Hawk Computer 6:04 pm

My Husband, Dr William Hunter Blair, now believes

that My World Trade Center Roof Top Painting from 1984

titled Self Organizing Galaxy

may have given someone the idea

for 9/11

Self Organizing Galaxy by Joanna Hyde

NOTICE TO MY READERS 222

EYE have not been writing much —

EYE have been making recordings into M(EYE) cell phone

in-which M(EYE) Husband does not seem very interested.
