SILVER SHIFT

The Hawk Kitchen 7:53am

The Silver Glare

alerts My Eyes

& shifts to flashes

of White

safe in My Kitchen

with the coffee pot on

I care not

for the rest of The World —

Oh but I do!

“We’ll Eat, Drink & Be Merry!”

The Hawk Kitchen 4:12pm

I can feed Millions

with My Ham & Broccoli Casseroles

My Trays of Eggplant Parmesan

My Pots of Baked Spaghetti

Yes — I Am A Cook

& I Am Cooking up

The Feast

of God’s Deposition

SUPPER TIME SKY

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 6:15pm

The Sky is a watercolour wash —

have I said that before?

Probably — One Stripe

is the same as The Ocean

& so includes Itself

as a partition

of liquid cloud

TEST PACKAGING

The Hawk Laundry Room 1:47pm

I bought A Purple Bottle

today of lavender laundry wash

with My Famous Silver Rays

on the label

& announced to My Husband

for all of Sobey’s to hear:

“I am a consumer on the march —

My Spending Practices are watched

My Tastes are recorded

for The Fashions of The Times

for The Big Buy-out

of Earth’s Silver Load!”

PERIOD

May 15, 2015 The Hawk Queen Bed 9:42pm

Women are bleeding

all over The Globe

having babies and abortions

 

I am so tired

I could sleep for a thousand years

& wake to A New Day

of Knowing

& wake to A New Long Day

MORNING OUTPOST

The Hawk Kitchen 8:07am

The Vibrancy of Silver

is awash across the water

filling My Kitchen

with bright rays of light

I wait for the coffee to steep

to write of My Days

here in the quiet

of My Sufficient Sleep

THE CAPE THIS MORNING

The Hawk West Desk Window 9:29am

The End of The Cape

looks as if It’s melting

into the shallow sea

The Sand at Its base

seems hazed over

while The Dunes look solid

enough to hike upon

I’ve never been out there

“Oh Where Did He Go?”

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 6:43pm

The Bug crawling up

My Outpost Window

can feel My Breath

My Heart-beat

My Urgency to Write

He is A Living Being

from The Roots of Divinity

like Me

UPHEAVAL

The Hawk Queen Bed 8:45am

Here I sit

on My Queen Bed

with The Bond Market

tumbling

& fog outside My Window

I have no regrets

as I see Silver on The Rise

I have yet

to put around My Finger

My Diamond from The World

& hasten to get

My Ultimate Satisfaction

BIG DAY

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
