ORGASM OF GOD

The Silver Oyster

within 2 brains

simultaneous

within both minds

to haunt, beguile

Our Grey Remains

POTION IN THE SHOWER

I DRINK IN

MY 09:11 SCORE

I SMOOTH MY POTION

ON FACE & LEGS

I BRUSH MY TEETH

IN THE MIRROR

I DRESS FOR POWER

TO BE READ:

WHITE IS FOR THE LIGHT

BLACK IS FOR THE DARK

GREY IS FOR MY JESUS

RED IS ON  MY MARK

YES I AM SUPPOSED TO WRITE THIS

one night I will be transported

in a Starship of My Brother’s design

off to a neighbouring planet

in The Companionship

of My Idol

there We will be deposited

for a naked length of time

to live out Our Legend

in someone else’s

garden

CANADA DAY 2012

We’re in a Catch-22

& 22 is The Number That Guides Me

Today I Watched The Spray

The Fabric of My Wash Cloth —

am I giving too much away?

I’m dressed in Baby Blue Puma Shorts

White Linen LL Bean Tank

Ancient Sandals

from The Yarmouth Hospital

3 Silver Bangles on My Left Wrist

Silver Hoops from My Ears

Rings of Gold

upon My Hands

& My Stainless Steel Open Heart Bulova Watch

around My Right Arm

THE CAPE SABLE ISLAND CAUSEWAY

I will row now with The Voodoo Pains

on the right side of Me —

where The Beautiful Dark Haired Woman

appeared on My Right Shoulder

saying,”You Know The Meaning Of Life

and So You Are A Star —

so go to sleep”

I will row now

THE HAWK DECK 7:30pm

The Scattered Crumbs

of Lemon Loaf Cake

brush off My Black Lap

like a speckling of stars

& down The Cleavage

of My Tattoo Sweater

like Those sucked inside

My Very Blackest Hole

THE HAWK DIARY

I have dreamt The Dream

of a Life Time

here in this darkened Back Room

behind a room

of Hospital #1

David —

I have come

to The Core

of The Matter

It Is Black

but Not Deadly 

THE HAWK WEST WINDOW 10:00am

INDUCTING THE BLACK SWAN

I have seen The Post Card

wilted on My Daughter’s Mirror

across from Her Bed

where I first met

The Boyfriend of Currency

Hunter, My Practising Husband/Doctor

may not go to Work

tomorrow

and I may not

THE HAWK DESK WINDOW 7:25pm

I see The Luminescence

out My West Window

shining up The Water

clearing into Sky

“Away The Thunder of Today”

knowing, telling

All Is Well
