ROWING BREAK

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 11:05am

The Universe

is A Giant Kitty Box

with The Wild Stars

scattered on Our Floor

at The Foot of Our Basement Stairs

— The Cats Who use It

are God

& Those Who Clean It —

Christ

I PULLED DOWN A LITTLE CHUNK OF SKY & GAVE IT TO MY SELF

The Hawk Queen Bed, January 8,11:04pm

There’s a New God

On The Block —

She’s outdone, beaten up

The Old Guy

with Her Hair, Dark

in a bun — orange blossom

at Her Ear —

She sits on My Right Shoulder

& tells Me with Her Voice So Dear:

“You Know The Meaning of Life

So You Are A Star —

So Go To Sleep”

GLITTER

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 5:55pm

God has The Soul of Space

in which to play Her Hand

from Her Fingertips

She can spill & spread

Her Trillions & Trillions of Suns

to let the fertile Ones out —

Those very rare seeds

spawning new worlds

across the countless miles

of Grace

The Hawk West Desk Window 10:22am

This is The Year

I am no longer

The Second Coming of Christ —

instead, or along with —

EYE am An Artist

with The Spirit of Christ

allowing Me to Create

& Create & Create

& Create & Create

& Create

THE HOUSE IN THE WOODS

The Hawk Queen Bed 8:52pm

There was a home-made house

once

built of stone

& piled-up floors

built by My Grand Father Bobby Hyde

& I as a child

called it “The Christmas House”

& asked My Mother

when were We going back

“To The Christmas House?”

& now I have My X-Miss Tree

still up

& being ogled

by people

Who call Me an artist

 

CROSS REFLECTIONS

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:50am

EYE see a shadow

from a neighbour’s barn

with a patch of light

reflected from the picture window

of My Upper Storey —

Yeah, so what

You might say —

but to Me

The Vision

says It All

BARRY KING

The Hawk First Window 11:20am

I have made M(EYE) Mark

against a brilliant wall

of grey

& if You want to know

where,

I’ll tell You:

in My New Exercise Room

AND UPON

OUR UNIVERSE

SINGULAR RAYS

The Hawk X Miss Tree 4:30pm

I am seeing The Breath

of The Universe

play on My Living Room Wall

enchanting Me

by the undulating placement

of light from The Sun

touching My Only Flat Silver Ball

cascading in slow motion

In & Out

THE SOUTHERN VIEW

The Hawk Window Seat 1:51pm

Today I am seeing

The Silver of The South

for M(EYE) First Time

through The Scrub Spruce

bounding

M(EYE) Water View

from a bedroom window

cushioning The Light House

with clouds

over-laying

a fine winter sun

AFTER IMAGE

The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 9:55am

Today I have seen

the contemporary slash

of Silver on

My Horizon

& still,

when I blink

in the bathroom

before the washer & dryer

I see the customary

strip of Lime Green
