ON THE RISE
The Hawk Kitchen Outpost 7:55am
Heralding The Gold
of The Climbing Sun
I See It Shimmer
Flickering Blue & White
into My Early Morning
Eyeballs —
I See It Generate
The Heat of The Day
& I Know It
To Be Pure
I Know It
To Be Fine
My Brother Howard’s Birthday, The Hawk Portico 3:05pm
I ain’t playin’
when I see that Brinks
armoured truck runnin’ grey along
the front windows of Sobey’s
I ain’t playin’
when I feel a surge in My Heart
when I see them bullet-proof men
stagin’ them bags of money —
I gots Mine –
I’m safe
